Lyrics

This ole world’s in a tangle
Dark clouds most everywhere
This ole world’s in a tangle
Dark clouds most everywhere
We gotta breathe this air, but nobody seems to care
I’m wanna tell all you people
The battle has just begun
I wanna tell all you people
The battle has just begun
One black day, we might not see the sun
So Sad, So Sad, So Sad… It’s Bad
So Sad
People peepin’ and a hidin’
You know that they're afraid to see
People peepin’ and a hidin’
You know that they're afraid to see
They’ve got blinders on, they can't see you or me
Listen to me you ole folk
This old world’s gotta change
Listen to me you young folk
This old world’s gotta change
If the bombs start fallin’
There'll be no more “Home On The Range”
So Sad, So Sad, So Sad… It’s Bad
So Sad
We gotta take some consideration
And shake things up a bit
We gotta take some consideration
And shake things up a bit
Some say no, but still we must insist
Too much smoke, too much gas
Too little green, and it's goin’ fast
Help us now and shake your y’ass y’ass y’ass
So Sad, So Sad, So Sad… It’s Bad
So Sad
