Hurricane - David Ford

Darling don’t wake from your sleep

There’s just commercials and war on tv

The damn, is it breeched, so it seems

and there are footsteps, and they’re coming for me

so close your eyes and sleep

here comes a hurricane

here comes the flood

here comes a tidal wave of land sliding mud

it’s never enough

to make me repent all these things I have done

it feels like a neutral’s been wired to the live

i feel like some hero been doomed to survive

and it’s never enough

to shake the foundations and rattle the walls

so book me a seat and I’m along for the ride

now is the age to just let it all slide

and it’s never enough

to ask any difficult questions oh

and who gives a damn if this conspiracy’s real

there’s a whole generation asleep at the wheel

and it’s never enough

let the hard times roll, no we’re not in control

and we’d be crazy to think that we are.

No death or glory, no line in the sand

blaze up these fireworks and strike up the band

and it’s never enough

and this is no time to stand up and be counted

God bless America God save the queen

god kill my enemies and keep my hands clean

it’s never enough

and this medications not wearing off any time soon

Well this land is your land, this land is mine

now pull up a chair and we can watch the decline

and it’s never enough

the surroundings are just too damn comfortable here

this progress is a twentyfirst century curse

the times they are changing and they’ll change for the worst

and it’s never enough

let the hard times roll, no we’re not in control

and we’d be crazy to think that we are
