Quitting Time ~ Philip Brent
What’s a person to do
When every day
There’s something new
War and violence
Feeling blue
So what’s a person
Supposed to do
Rich fools spout madness
Though some agree
Guns for all
That’s best, don’t you see
Braggarts and bullies
Full of intolerance, misogyny
All the love you have
All the love you hold
Feels meager set against
The insanity you face
Rain drenched, feeling cold
I try to change the world
Everyone laughs at me
All so simple
In my head
No dichotomy
Keep going as we are
We all end up dead
