(Making) things That Don’t Last
Lately we make things that don’t last
Present and future are in the past
Everything just ore in a furnace blast
We make things not intended to last.
People think that they know it all
Everything else, thrown away in a ball
We’d never notice the clarion call
Vengeance coming before a fall.
But our children don’t believe that stuff
Every day they think they’ve had enough
Going to school with masks that hide
Feeling held back losing their pride.
We have leaders who do not lead
But they take us on trips at blinding speed
Subdivide us like planting seed
We have leaders who can't be believed.
If there is no hope, what can we do?
Surely there;s something better for me and you.
We have learned that wounds can heal
Given proper care, they will seal.
And what is left at the end of the day
Is the love we put into play
No one gets out of life unharmed
But someone must sound the alarm.
We used to make the things that did last
We did it together brick, metal, and glass.
All ships rose, better than the past
