about

A song about the endless cycle, and my confusion with it. And 100 points if you spot the TV show the lyrics are referencing! Answers on a postcard to....

lyrics

That corner there you’d find some faith.
Some hopes that raised, then dashed again
as things just stayed the same.
Confusing in their way,
the seasons come and go today,
but oxygen repays.

Now make your move, and entertain.
Naively we begin again
constructing our next cage,
to keep our sharks at bay,
we hide ourselves beneath the waves
and hear those soldiers say.

Where’s my money?
Where’s the money?
Where’s your money?
And nothing changes.

A change of phrase, a change of pace.
new players staging ancient plays,
all read from the same page.
We looked for things to change-
with endless reruns to placate;
became a change of face.

Where’s the money?
Where’s my money?
Where’s your money?
And nothing changes
Where’s the money?
Where’s my money?
Where’s your money?
And nothing changes

That corner there you’ll find some faith -
same hopes were dashed, then raised again,
and things just stay the same.
Confusing in their way,
the seasons come and go again,
but oxygen remains.

Where’s your money?
Where’s my money?
Where’s the money?
And nothing changes.
Where’s the money?
Where’s your money?
Where’s my money?
And nothing changes.
Where’s my money?
Where’s your money?
Where’s the money?
And nothing changes.
