Harry Situations

Sometime I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaking truth like Harry Truman.

Who Freed Jews like Randy Newman.

Did he know what he was doing?

Looking past horizons still looming.

Into wars we're still dooming,

Past Korea who's grooming

An arsenal,

But what are we gonna do man?

Self determination; that's approving

States rights and their view man.

We can't push to be the through man;

Policing worlds and assuming;

Trading lives for consuming;

Double definition to booming;

Bombing evil: that's improving

Our situation, but is that true man?

In the name of forward progress, moving.

Rewind like Tom Petty's groving.

Pausing as if we can; resuming.

But what's the life of a crew man?

Soldier stop only when they're tomb-ing

Another loss, boo-hoo man.

That's the price of being human.

Capital grinds the unassuming

Catching leprechauns and shoemen

Wishing for magic but you're shrooming

What the fuck are we even doing?

I guess that was up to Harry Truman...

... but really, it's up to you man
