Henry Harrington - 21st Century Blues
lyrics
I went looking for redemption
and I found a one night stand
But I didnt have it in me
So I joined a traveling band

Now the people on the roadside
Stomp their feet and clap their hands
While their children die behind them
Playing war in arid lands


Chorus:
We watch them count their money
They look us in the eye
And say
You lose

They all go to heaven
While were stuck here
With the 21st Century blues




Some work toward Armegedon
While they nod their heads in time
Buy their trinkets at the gift shop
Then home to eat by five

If we do what theyre saying
Its like National suicide
Invoke Jesus from the heartland
On a genocidal ride



When the ice caps all are melted
And the high ground is out of reach
Ill light a stick of incense
In the ruins on the beach


Ill wonder if it could have been different
If our leaders had not been mad
And wasted what we gave them
Let them kill the best we had
