The Echo Machine

Turn on the echo machine

You didn’t have to be so mean

After all the pain I’ve seen

We all live in a world unseen,

Have just enough to live on

Somehow I feel like a chessboard pawn

There’s a dying crow on my lawn

The tragedies go on and on,

You didn’t realize you were on a radar screen

Far from help and somewhere in between

Just another lost submarine

Just another case of mutated genes,

Turn on the echo machine

You didn’t have to be so mean

After all the pain I’ve seen

We all live in a world unseen,

Trying to make sense of this

Why the nation is at the precipice

Some people starve while others live in bliss

The betrayal of the Judas kiss,

Living in a land that’s that’s beseeched

Dumbed downed minds just can’t be breached

Can’t stand to hear another lying speech

Justice for mankind has gone out of reach,

Turn on the echo machine

You didn’t have to be so mean

After all the pain I’ve seen

We all live in a world unseen.
