There is good and bad and the potencial to succeed and to fail, which will we choose, what will we do? This piece is a effort to see the potencial lost when circustances dictate we fight a cause and ignore the consequences of the action. definitely not finished ... so sorry.

Bombs An' Butterflies
*****************************
Some think it's hopeless
Do you know what I mean
We gotta' to keep th' faith
But as strange as it seems
That the ying and the yang
Is the way of life
"You" voted for a change
"We", have to pay the price

They had to hate us first
We had to hate 'em back
Bombs and butterflies
God and man


Can't read th' paper
An' you know that's fact ...
Th' poor, rich, the greedy
Say they won't give it back


I see you driving by
Through th' neighborhood ...
Somebody might die
I never understood ...
Is it the ying the yang
Was it the good, or the bad
Bombs and butterflies
God and man

Down at the school
I heard
They're locking th' doors
Poor lil' Johnnny
Can't, pray anymore


Not much said
From the left or right ..
But they're ...
Lockin' their doors
When they go home tonight
Was it the ying the yang
I think it's sad
Bombs and butterflies
God and man
