soon, but not soon enough

i haven’t been feeling great
about the world at large
and what’s at stake

you think if i choose to ignore
the people yelling at my door
it’ll stop the next great war

if the tv just stays unplugged
no more consistent heavy buzz
will everyone stop feeling unloved

i could even walk to your place
walk a mile or two to see your face
there must be easier ways to touch base

one day they’ll be no bad news
just the weather man in a poncho
to give us all our raining blues
