about

A song about the bleakness of the future we face. If humankind does not change our ways, there will be little left for my children to save and live happily ever after.

lyrics

We Put Up A Fight

What is left at the end of the road?
Dusk turns dark, our path unknown
Seeking a sign, we march ahead blind
Oblivious to the path we’ve been shown

Heed no advice of our elders before
When push comes to shove there will be no more
Forest been cleared, mortgage in arrears
We succumb to our darkest fears


Say goodbye, so long and goodnight
It’s all over now tho we put up a fight
Bawling like babies ‘neath the pale moonlight
It’s all over now tho we put up a fight

Howling wind often knocks at my door
Rattles the windows and shakes the floors
And when it leaves, the old rafters they heave
Dogs howl and cry out for more

Red sun rises, dust masks our view
Nothing to grow, nothing to do
Mulling it over: where could we go?
Can’t eat money it’s only dough


Say goodbye, so long and goodnight
It’s all over now tho we put up a fight
Bawling like babies ‘neath the pale moonlight
It’s all over now tho we put up a fight


What is left at the end of the road?
Dusk turns dark, our path unknown
Seeking a sign, we march ahead blind
Oblivious to the path we’ve been shown


Say goodbye, so long and goodnight
It’s all over now tho we put up a fight
Bawling like babies ‘neath the pale moonlight
It’s all over now tho we put up a fight
