Lyrics
There's a cloud hanging over the sunbelt
Brakes squeal on a crowded road
Traffic jam in the city
Streets can't handle the load
But people still keep coming south
To start all over again
Only to find no peace in a world of greed and oil
The Chamber of Commerce is worried
That their business won't grow
Their concern for the environment
Is all talk and no show
But what good is a dollar
If you can't breathe the air
And how many chemicals are in the lake
And do you even care?
So why do we have to live this way
In a world of corporate greed
You don't have to have what you want
You can live on what you need
And as I watch the sun go down on another Ozone day
I hear a voice that's calling and it says it doesn't have to be this way
Guitar chords: Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm Gm7 Dm A7 Gm7 Em A7
Brakes squeal on a crowded road
Traffic jam in the city
Streets can't handle the load
But people still keep coming south
To start all over again
Only to find no peace in a world of greed and oil
The Chamber of Commerce is worried
That their business won't grow
Their concern for the environment
Is all talk and no show
But what good is a dollar
If you can't breathe the air
And how many chemicals are in the lake
And do you even care?
So why do we have to live this way
In a world of corporate greed
You don't have to have what you want
You can live on what you need
And as I watch the sun go down on another Ozone day
I hear a voice that's calling and it says it doesn't have to be this way
Guitar chords: Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm Gm7 Dm A7 Gm7 Em A7
you have a unique way of juxtaposing vocals & instrumentation that are understated & tranquil with lyrics that speak of internalized anger and criticism...troubling but most effective in delivering the central message...it beckons the question "And do you even care?" in every way
