High South - Make It Better

Listen on Spotify
open.spotify.c...
Poets, prophets, sages
Warn us through the ages,
We keep rewriting pages
That we refuse to read.
Politics and profit
Paralyze the office.
No matter what you call it,
It all comes down to greed.
Sold off piece by piece.
But it’s time to come together
Do or die, now or never.
Leave behind a light that shines forever.
We can make it better.
Packaged up and processed,
Technicolor progress,
Gave civil rights a screen test
But kept it black and white.
Keep it out of classrooms,
Hide it in the bathrooms,
Living in a vacuum
So you can sleep at night,
Wrong or right.
But it’s time to come together
Do or die, now or never.
Leave behind a light that shines forever.
We can make it better.
Beatles on a rooftop,
Peace and love and Woodstock,
Never thought it could stop.
Was it just a dream?
Doesn’t have to be.
P. Mendoza, J. Leo, J. Garner, K. Campos
