This song was inspired by when I saw pictures the book burnings in Tennessee on Reddit. Makes me not want to watch / listen to / or read the news. It would make me so much happier that way.
Book burnings are in the news
down in Tenessee
This is 2022,
not 1933.
Neo nazis everywhere
Stirring up the pot
Causing trouble, causing fear
not caring if they get caught
Book burnings are in the news
I wish that they were not
Head in the sand
Don't wanna pay attention
Its no wonderland
I'm filled with apprehension
Give me some good news
not something crappy
something uplifting
and let me be happy
Tensions high over Ukraine
How will this play out?
Is this all just posturing
so they can scream and shout?
Left and Right in the US
are at each other's heads
No one listens to a thing
that the other said
Bad partisan politics
could be our deathbed
Head in the sand
Don't wanna pay attention
Its no wonderland
I'm filled with apprehension
Give me some good news
not something crappy
something uplifting
and let me be happy
Betty White and Bob Saget
left the world for good
Joining Mr. Rogers
up in his neighborhood
Robin Williams, Steve Irwin
been gone for some time
But everything just went downhill
when David Bowie died
Everything just went downhill
when David Bowie died
Head in the sand
Don't wanna pay attention
Its no wonderland
I'm filled with apprehension
Give me some good news
not something crappy
something uplifting
and let me be happy
Head in the sand
Don't wanna pay attention
Its no wonderland
I'm filled with apprehension
Give me some good news
not something crappy
something uplifting
and let me be happy

A song that sounds like it out of the thirties. Really well done. Great lyrics.
