Okay, so driving is when I listen to all my music... well most of the time... but yeah, I was going through some music that my friend just gave me and thought that you would all enjoy the lyrics of this song...
Ain't No Reason by Brett Dennen
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it every day
Preachers on the podium speaking of Saints
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change
Old ladies laughin' from the fire escape, cursin' my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a piegeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life workin' for something,
just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushin' back their deaths
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Talkin' bout nothin, not thinkin' bout death,
every little heart beat, every little breath
People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons...
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen,
or a thought or a word or a sentence,
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things that I say,
but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do beleive... love will come set me free
I know it will... love will come set me free
Prison walls still standin' tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone,
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul,
Like a law, it's filled with coal, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild, and I may move
But politicians lie, and I am not fooled
You don't need a reason, or a three piece suit to argue the truth,
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go,
Love I try to follow, Love will come set me free,
Love will come set me free
I do beleive, love will come set me free
I know it will, love will come set me free
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it every day
... Okay, so yeah... think about it!
