Confusion
Where’s Captain Obvious when you need him?
Or her? Don’t want to be as sexist as our Petulant Elect.
If love, “trumps” hate, why are the lovers, hating the haters?
Didn’t that one fellow, tell, suggest, or write, Love your enemies?
No time, like the present. That’s why it’s called a present.
Since the Trump followers need to be led, lead them toward kindness, forgiveness, compassion, empathy, and loving all the bipedal earthlings, regardless of race, gender, beliefs, height, weight, geography, xenophobia, politics, religion, etc.
“Confusion” Electric Light Orchestra
All around the world it’s shining.
But cold winds blow across your mind.
Confusion–it’s such a terrible shame.
Confusion–you don’t know what you’re sayin’.
Every night you’re out there darlin’.
You’re always out there runnin’.
And I see that lost look in your eyes.
Confusion,I don’t know what I should do.
Confusion,I leave it all up to you.
Dark is the road you wander.
And as you stand there under.
The starry sky,you feel sad inside.
Confusion,you know it’s drivin’ me wild.
Confusion,it comes as no big surprise.
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the street.
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger’s gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
There burning into the night.
There’s too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
Ooh Superman where are you now
When everything’s gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago –
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago –
I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know, we’ll never keep.
Too many men
There’s too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion.
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to.
Looking at the world through a windshield.
