Been Working My Way Through

Been working my way through
Searching for beauty in me & you
And all them other folk
To see despite the smoke
Without the need to toke
A fool his dreams half broke
Been working my way through
Searching for beauty in me & you

They show the riots on TV
Our examples of inhumanity
I try to find some meaning too
Know we shouldn’t sit & stew
The old are trampled by the new
Many crushed by relatively few
They show the riots on TV
Our examples of inhumanity

What happened to that thing called we?
How many eyes so dull they cannot see?
I need to look up words like woke
Hope it’s not some party prank or joke
Wonder if I should have tried the coke?
Find love again and dip my yoke
What happened to that thing called we?
How many eyes so dull they cannot see?
