This is a demo of a song that appeared on Homeward Bound by Mark Lind & The Unloved
lyrics
Take a look around. The world is fucked.
Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out
Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way
Life can catch you looking when you least expect
The things that you want aren’t the things that you get
Just keep on trucking for another day
Lately I’ve been thinking all about the past
It seems so much easier when I think back
People say that’s just your mind playing tricks on you
It’s just the glass you’ve been looking through
But I beg to differ with my learned friends
Each step I take still leaves behind some prints
Along the road I have picked up a few things
That have weighed me down and made me way to sing….
Take a look around. The world is fucked.
Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out
Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way
Life can catch you looking when you least expect
The things that you want aren’t the things that you get
Just keep on trucking for another day
I’ve written so many words for times like these
And reassuring words are the things I need
Maybe now the old me can play council to the new
Set me straight and show me what to do
Take a look around. The world is fucked.
Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out
Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way
Life can catch you looking when you least expect
The things that you want aren’t the things that you get
Just keep on trucking for another day
17 on a mission
21 on the rocks
28 on my knees
31 when’s it gonna stop?
Take a look around. The world is fucked.
Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out
Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way
Life can catch you looking when you least expect
The things that you want aren’t the things that you get
Just keep on trucking for another day
Just keep on trucking for another day
God, there must be another way
