All Good

Build the tallest building
Corporations have their way
Turn playgrounds into strip malls
See how much the people pay
Develop high, taunt the skies
Birds they'll fly away
Plagues will come, and rivers dry
Only thinking, for today

Today was someone's best day of all time
Today was someone's nightmare come to life
Today I cried to see if I still could
But tears refused
To stream the way I'd hoped they would
Guess that means life's all good

He's looking for compassion
As I drive to my new job
The skies his only shelter while I have a roof I bought
Stolen luck and freedoms just by the color of his skin
Complicit ways, I turn my head
But that won't make it end

Today was someone's best day of all time
Today was someone's nightmare come to life
Today I cried to see if I still could
But tears refused
To stream the way I'd hoped they would
Guess that means, life's all good

Will we rebuild purity
Or grow numb and concede
Indifferent to the madness, while swallowing deceit
Dreams of when, we can dance again
No shoes on our feet

Have we earned this sacred space
So entitled, missed the call
Ignoring those, a little off
Less pain to swallow behind my walls
Try to avoid the truth and problems
The loathing lies that swirl
Watching hate and fear
Steal freedom from the world

Today was someone's best day of all time
Today was someone's nightmare come to life
Today I cried to see if I still could
But tears refused
To stream the way I'd hoped they would
Guess that means life's all good
Guess my life
I guess my life's
I guess that means, life's all good
