READY OR NOT

from THIS YEAR by Josie Martin

lyrics

They say our sins are paid for, so everyone’s going to war
Ain’t no shame in killing, when you’re not the ones paying the bills and
The purse strings are growing tighter with all that ain’t right in the world
But it keeps on turning, ready or not

And I’m trying my best, but I must confess
It’s not always easy to play the part
And I’m looking out my window, but no matter how far
I can’t see a break in the clouds, except for where the lightning strikes
And I’d take you tonight but I’m begging you baby
Please don’t make a sound

Cause the thunder’s enough, the noise is getting so loud
While the rain comes pouring down
And we’ve got one shot at this, one shot tonight
One shot to turn this around, oh

Cause they’ll take your soul but they don’t tell you bout the fee
Didn’t you ever learn, eternity ain’t for free?
So I guess I’ll die like the rest of them
Broke and debt free

It is emotion.
It is satire.
It is art.
It is infinite.
It is.
As I wish to be.
