Came up with the theme for this song in January and have been trying to develop it all month. Basic chord structure and most of the lyrics came pretty fast but I bounced back and forth between a half dozen different strumming patterns, vocal approaches, micro-adjustments to the lyrics, etc. But I think this just about does it. Not sure if the mix is working. It sounded great on my phone with headphones, but on my laptop it sounded bad until I changed the Media Player default settings. So your mileage may vary... lol #folk #rock #peoplesuck

No time for peaceful solutions Friendly glances Kind words spoken

Just shaking fist and war drums Plunging lances Trusting broken

Why is it so hard Like sticks and stones To break our bones Why do we make it so hard

No kindness or understanding Touch of grace Or second chances

Just burning and just banning Judging haste And hateful glances

Why is it so hard Like sticks and stones To break our bones Why do we make it so hard

BRIDGE:

Every single one of us Just another passenger on the bus Nobody chooses how it ends

No matter how cool or strong Or rich or big, or right or wrong Nobody loses, nobody wins

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK REPEAT FIRST VERSE REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO
