Wrote a poem the other day I thought I'd share with y'all. It's actually a song, and would probably make more sense if you heard the tune I put it to. At any rate, here it is:
Why Are You Still Here?
(Verse 1)
Some folks are sayin'
Lot o' things need to change
Like the government
And cattle on the range
They talk about our problems
And highlight our shame
Why don't they just go 'way
To the countries that have changed
(Chorus)
Why are you still doin' here
If you don't like
The way we do things
And run our lives
You're tryin' to change
Our very core
So why don't you just go 'way
And don't bother us no more
(Verse 2)
They don't show our progress
In the war oversees
But you can bet national TV
Will show the latest casualty
And then they have the arrogance
To say that we
Are killin' the earth we didn't create
With our cars and factories
(Chorus)
Why are you still doin' here
If you don't like
The way we do things
And run our lives
You're tryin' to change
Our very core
So why don't you just go 'way
And don't bother us no more
Why are you still doin' here
If you don't like
The way we do things
And run our lives
You're tryin' to change
Our very core
So why don't you just go 'way
And don't bother us no more
(Bridge)
Iraq or China love people like you
In Socialist Russia, you'd find plenty to do
But no, you've gotta stay and try to change
The country that's given you the right to complain
(Chorus x2)
Why are you still doin' here
If you don't like
The way we do things
And run our lives
You're tryin' to change
Our very core
So why don't you just go 'way
And don't bother us no more
