lyrics
LEGACY
A lot of bad things been happening
Avalanche of mistrust
It’s Armegeddon or bust
Progress so slow, undetectable
But if we’re gonna make it home by dawn
I think we better move along
So the story goes (wherever it wants)
The madness grows (stronger by the day)
What’ll we say on the judgment day?
Did we fight the good fight or did we just stay home and pray?
Our memory sees what it wants to see
It’s not my job to play referee
And I don’t worry about my legacy
I’m just trying to hold on to you and me
Red and blue, black and white
Division of the cruel and kind
Decision of the highest minds
Privilege breeds contempt for policy
The experts will disagree
But it’s obvious you and me
So the story goes (wherever it wants)
The madness grows (stronger by the day)
What’ll we say on the judgment day?
Did we fight the good fight or did we just stay home and pray?
Our memory sees what it wants to see
It’s not my job to play referee
And I don’t worry about my legacy
I’m just trying to hold on to you and me
You and me, holding it together in a crumbling universe
You and me trying to make it better when the odds just keep getting worse
Me and you, every day is a test are we living our best legacy?
So the story goes (wherever it wants)
The madness grows and grows and grows
What’ll we say on the judgment day?
Did we fight the good fight or did we just stay home and pray?
Our memory sees what it wants to see
Such imperfect souls are we
And I don’t worry about my legacy
I’m just trying to hold on to you and me
