A Letter to Caroline Lyrics by Jakob Kupferberg

Sweet Surrender

2020

[Verse 1]
By the time you read this letter, dear Caroline
You’ll have seen some things in this world you just can’t walk by
I know what you’re thinking
What the hell were we thinking?
With the alarm signs blinking
The whole world sinking
[Verse 2]
We were born in an era of wealth
The world was ourselves
Slaves to the rhythm of the night
A cyber psycho stalkers paradise
Hordes of Kanyes
Swarming across the countries
McDollar Madonnas growing supersize
Whilst the youth were holding mirrors at our eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
That’s right
We couldn’t even sleep at night
Cause we lost it
Yeah we lost it
Cause we trusted – them
[Bridge]
Dear Caroline
Hear these words so that in time
You’ll understand what’s been going on
All this time you were growing up
And I just wanna say
[Chorus]
I’m sorry
For handing you a world like this
I’m sorry
It was never meant to be like this
But don’t worry - don’t worry
Dear Caroline
[Verse 3]
With a GPS in our soul
Tongue-chained we were never whole
Constrained we were always told
Insane is the new bold
Advertisements, products, brands
A position in command
Opposition was a scam
Revolution beheaded by the man
[Pre-Chorus]
Rude Childs and Rock A Fellas
Under thought control umbrellas
Had us feeding their propellers
Bankers corporation sellers
You see there’s good bullshit -
And then there’s bad - ha ha!
Let this be the lesson you never had
[Bridge]
Dear Caroline
Hear these words so that in time
You’ll understand what’s been going on
All this time you were growing up
And I just wanna say
[Chorus]
I’m sorry
For handing you a world like this
I’m sorry
It was never meant to be like this
But don’t worry
Love will carry you through this test
I promise - I promise
Dear Caroline
[Instrumental]
Mmhm
Mmhm
[Post-Chorus]
And though these words – mean so little
To someone like you who's stuck in the middle
Of a paradigm – facing a choice
Of being suits' right hand – or humanity’s voice
Dear Caroline
[Outro]
Dear Caroline
Dear Caroline
Dear Caroline
