For the Better

from A Week in the Wood by Martin Rivas

/

about

A protest song.

lyrics

Eight hours of sleep every nite
Or nine hours of sleep every nite
Hydration and rest will keep you your best
And handwashing frequently might

Don't let the hate get you down
Don't let the fear get you down
Remain a good friend
The weakest, defend
Forget not your mask when in town

In the end, in the end, it's for the better
In the end, in the end, it's for the better

A false sense of power did blind us
Ignored all the signs to remind us
We've cut down our trees
We've killed all our bees
So please let that meteor find us

In the end, in the end, it's for the better
In the end, in the end, it's for the better

Please let the women take over
Please let the women take over
Again and again
We're failed by the men
So please let the women take over

In the end, in the end, it's for the better
In the end, in the end, it's for the better

Make sure you fully remember
Every committee and member
And the vile orange twit
They chose to acquit
Vote them all out in November

In the end, in the end, it's for the better
In the end, in the end, it's for the better
