David Mallett - Celebration

^CSometimes you just don't feel like tryin', ^GToo many politicians lyin', ^AmToo many hungry babies cryin', ^FToo many random bullets flyin'. ^CToo much time spent in struggle, ^GToo many little kids in trouble, ^AmToo many cities gone to rubble, ^FToo many people talkin' double.

^CThis can't be our destination, ^FThis could be a better nation, ^CTime to set the big horse racin', ^GWe can change the situation. ^AmTrains are leavin' from the station, ^FNeed a brand new generation, ^CThis could be a celebration ^Gnow, ^Cnow. ^G

^CSituations changin' fast, ^GToo much plastic too much trash, ^AmToo many smoke stacks spewing ash, ^FToo many people with no cash. ^CToo much waste not enough water, ^GToo many abandoned sons and daughters, ^AmToo many lost and hopeless feelings, ^FToo many lowdown shady dealings.

^CThis can't be our destination, ^FThis could be a better nation, ^CTime to set the big horse racin', ^GNeed a brand new generation. ^AmTrains are leavin' from the station, ^FMe I got no reservation, ^CThis could be a celebration ^Gnow, ^Cnow. ^G

^CAll the time I hear this roaring, ^GPavement steel and iron ore and, ^AmPeople shouting all so sure that, ^FTheir side is the right side more and, ^CMore. I see abandoned floors and ^GStores, weary tired and poorer all the ^AmTime folks, they're just buried in the ^FWine, because they're all so bored and ^CIt's become unnatural the, ^GWay we need the things without a, ^AmReason feed the greed the weeds grow, ^FFrom the roots we're all runnin' from the ^CTruth. We choose to fight instead to, ^GProve ourselves leave love and hope, Up^Amon the shelf divided they're just, ^FFree to sell us anything.

^CThis can't be our destination, ^FThis could be a better nation, ^CTime to set the big horse racin', ^GNeed a brand new generation. ^AmTime to change the conversation, ^FTrains are leavin' from the station, ^CThis could be a celebration ^Gnow, ^Cnow. ^G

^CToo many people looking down, ^GToo many closed up factory towns, ^AmToo much high priced propaganda, ^FToo much sadness in this land of ^CDreams. That once could all come true, ^GNow it's down to me and you, ^AmTell me what you gonna do, ^FTell me what you gonna do now,

^CThis can't be our destination, ^FThis could be a better nation, ^CTime to set the big horse racin', ^GNeed a brand new generation. ^AmTrains are leavin' from the station, ^FThis could be a celebration, ^CMe I got no reservation, ^GThis could be a celebration, ^CThis could be a celebration, ^FThis could be a celebration, ^CThis could be a celebration ^Gnow, ^Cnow,^{G C}now^{G C}now.
