When the Devil drives

I’m going down to the river With my wash day blues I’m going to go to a nightclub In a pair of dancing shoes I’m going to make a banner saying ‘All lives matter here’ I’m going to scale the rock face That has always been too sheer I’m going to sail across oceans To spread the words of peace To point out we don’t own this Earth We only have it on lease I’m going to go to a bookstore Because I still have much to learn I’m going to take a photograph Before all of the bridges burn I’m going to stand on my soapbox To bring people together as one What are they even fighting for? What reasons, I can see noneI’m going to drink more coffee Because I don’t have time to sleep I’m going to tell people To do what is right What you sow is what you reap We should go back to the drawing board To find out where we went wrong But so many can’t see the fatal flaw It’s been this way for so long I’m going to take a train ride I have to get out of this place Just top prove the grass isn’t greener That could be the coup de grace This town is so multicultural And it should always be that way We should respect our neighboursAnd turn all the bigots away I’m going to boycott the tabloids They are filled with too many lies I’m going to welcome the refugees They wont bring about our demise Its time to put all the hatred aside Bring justice to blatant war crimes Bring justice for lives that were taken Those who died under the gun But those who have so much blood on their hands Are too smug to go on the runSo they are still not brought to justice And living their wonderful lives And I’m sorry if I strayed of topic But life’s hard when the Devil drives.
