The Way it Was Lyrics by Jack M. Senff

Low Spirit

0

Sundown over providence
The rolling hills and promises of life and love, the way it was
But it's a bittersweet, hey c'mon
The way it was is gone
Yeah, it's gone, gone, gone
Yeah, it's gone, gone, gone
And it's never coming back
Our eyes are open wide
We're running but there's nowhere left to hide
When everyday more of the same
A prophecy of fire and rain
The pain, so bad you can't imagine
We have killers wearing badges and our humanity abandoned
And the dollar lets it happen
God, it seems so doomed
God, it seems so doomed
That we're all in this together
We have to give it our best shot
Let's eat the rich and get those bastard cops
'Cause we're all in this together
'Cause we're all in this together
Poor children of the Earth, watching as she dies
Shouldering the burden of goodbye
Sundown over providence
The rolling hills and promises of life and love, the way it was
But it's a bittersweet, hey c'mon
The way it was is gone
We're all in this together
We're all in this together
Maybe it's not so bad (Maybe it's not so bad)
Maybe it's just too late (Maybe it's just too late)
We're all in this together either way
We're all in this together either way
We're all in this together either way
We're all in this together either way
