Play - The Settlement

Look at this place around us

Look at all the people

Watching and waiting

And looking for something that’s theirs for the taking

Something to make sense out of this crazy world that we’re living in

Out of this ultimatum that we’re dealing with

Just look at the morning paper or the evening news

We’re all used and abused

And we’re forced to choose

Should we give ‘em hell or give ‘em shoes?

Or drop a few more bombs away

Or outlaw guns and don’t let kids pray

Camo or the Rainbow

What about the shade of grey?

We ain’t gotta choose sides today

We ain’t gotta choose sides tomorrow

Let the kids go out and play

We’re gonna be ourselves today

Walking down the street

Never felt so much like a ghost town

Everybody’s walking around

Smiles upside down, staring at the ground

But every now and then

You know/when we look up at the sky

We all wonder why

Is there anyone up there?

Why can’t he hear us cry?

We ain’t gonna find God today

We ain’t gonna find God tomorrow

Let the kids go out and play

We’re gonna be ourselves today

If you wanna fight all the good in life you can

And if you wanna believe that your hate will get us anywhere

Then you can stand beside yourself all alone at the end of the road

And for the rest of us, we’ll do fine on our own

Yeah, we’ll do fine on our own

We’re gonna be ourselves today

We’re gonna be ourselves tomorrow

Let the kids go out and play

We’re gonna be ourselves today (we're gonna be ourselves, we’re gonna be

ourselves)

We ain’t gotta choose sides today

We ain’t gonna find God tomorrow (no, no, no)

But everything’s gonna be okay

We’re gonna be ourselves today
