It Is What It Is

It's not what your country can do for you...it's what your country is doing TO you.

The first step in change is to accept and understand what it is that we are changing.

Dear United Corporations Of America,

It Is What It Is by mooselethridge
If you're foolin' around with the laws of stability
And so many years of recorded anthropology
Don't act surprised with that look of stupidity
If I dismiss your financial possibilities
How many frauds in this continuum
Are holding a job to consistently ruin it
Making it hard to accept how you're doing it
Guilty as charged with the facts there proving it

As natural as the light from the midday sun
Shining in the sky since the summer of one
Inherent to us all as plain as can be
Your incessant need to change all that we see
But it is what it is, that's how it is
Even a scientist would have to admit that
All the deranged are rearranging everything
Into something so strange
But it is what is, that's how it is
And now we all get to deal with the mess
All the deranged are rearranging everything
Into something so strange and now it is...
That's how it is
The way that it is
Is what it is

If you're wondering how the whole world is gonna change again
Look at the proud corporations running everything
They won't stop and the people keep suffering
But some of us have a way to bring hope again
Balance the pain with a blow to the heart of it
Dividing the game that they play for the conquering
And just explain to their own kids living in it
Our whole futures on the line it's time to deal with it

As clear as the water in the deep blue sea
That brings all life to you and me
Inherent to us all as plain as can be
Your incessant need to change all that we see
But it is what it is, that's how it is
Even a scientist would have to admit that
All the deranged are rearranging everything
Into something so strange
But it is what is, that's how it is
And now we all get to deal with the mess
All the deranged are rearranging everything
Into something so strange and now it is...
That's how it is
The way that it is
Is what it is

Your Friendly Cyberhood

All In Your Hands

To wind down your wheels...

All In Your Hands by mooselethridge

Don't think to give up on a dream
I know what it means to lose your expectations
I've seen people who achieve
What they want and need with their determination

If someone's in your way day after day
Trying to make you pay
Leading you astray controlling things in vain
And every word you say

No stranger than man to think that you can
Change the way of this natural plan
Try to understand the limit of the land
And remember it's all in your hands

Walk proud alone or in a crowd
Thieves are lurking round and hiding in the shadows
Stand tall everyone and all
Breaking down the walls to reveal what matters

If someone's in your way day after day
Trying to make you pay
Leading you astray controlling things in vain
And every word you say

No stranger than man to think that you can
Change the way of this natural plan
Try to understand the limit of the land
And remember it's all in your hands

Stay strong and it won't be long
Lessons that you've learned will be a moment in passing
Your mind adapting to the times
Keeping you in line shall be forever lasting

If someone's in your way day after day
Trying to make you pay
Leading you astray controlling things in vain
And every word you say

No stranger than man to think that you can
Change the way of this natural plan
Try to understand the limit of the land
And remember it's all in your hands
