Name: So It Goes
Duration: P00H03M12S
Description: One of my rare social commentary songs. We had the Virginia Tech shootings… and then the NIU shootings. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the world? Those two events aren't the only things that I was thinking about in this song but they both spurred me to write this. I was seriously in tears when I finished writing this. The ending still gives me goosebumps.

One of my rare social commentary songs. We had the Virginia Tech shootings… and then the NIU shootings. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the world?

lyrics

What the hell is wrong with everyone?
What the hell is wrong with the world?
Load up your bombs and guns
Murder all the innocent ones
Till every single last one of them is gone

Someone will come along every once in a while
That makes this whole spinning Earth
Seem so juvenile
And so it goes…
Another day comes to a close

But what can we do?
Just sit here and watch?
The world never speeds up nor does it slow down

But it seems like it stops turning for just an hour or two
To make sure everything is still green and blue
And so it goes…
Another day comes to a close

Where are we going now?
When the hell will all this turn around?
Let us not be defined
Let us not be confined
Give us some sort of other reality
Don't let us lie awake tonight
Give us some false peace of mind
To wrap our thoughts around

Maybe someone will come along to set our minds at ease
But I can't see it happening soon
Unless someone hears my pleas
And so it goes…
Another life comes to a close
