Story behind the song
The times have indeed changed! Nothing is like it use to be.I vent my frustation with this song! With Bob on bass and keyboards, Joe on lead guitar and Norm on drums.Thanks guys, you make this song come alive!
Lyrics
Forgive me Lord, I know not what I say But I can't be held responsible today I know what's wrong and I know what's right But I can't help feeling what I feel tonight : What's up is down-what's down is up the rules have changed it's not the same The wrong prevail the right they fail We're all in a cell and we can't get bail No land of plenty no paridise Twice as much is twice as nice The promised land has turned into hell You're the owner of the farm but you've got to sell There's no sacred place in the world anymore We've let in the inmates and closed the door The wicked rule while the rightous die Everyone sins and everyone lies It's so hard to get a helping hand I feel like I'm living in a foreign land! Forgive me Lord I'm not mad at you I just feel there's more that you could do Give us a sign to put us back on track I'm tired of the tabloid junk in the magazine racks "Did Elvis die by his own hand?' "did Dr.King really see the promised land?" "Did princess Di see her life flash by?" "As the plane went down did Buddy Holly cry?" Secrets are hard to keep we've been told so why is the ufo mystery so old? The truth is there if you look real hard It just might be in your own backyard What is this thing called the American dream? sometimes I think it ain't what it seems some have it all and some have none and here I stand I'm a native son! We're all in a cesspool of crime and dispair with no ray of hope anywhere That's the way the world is today I don't know what more I can say! ...now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take...
