about

I wrote this tune at the beginning of 2017 when Trump took office. It was so annoying to watch Fox News then CNN or MSNBC. One side said one thing, the other side the complete opposite. I was angry and frustrated and seriously questioning why we all can't just agree to disagree and focus on coming to an agreement on important issues rather than bitterly fighting over stupid irrelevant sh*t. At the beginning of 2018, not much has changed. We've still got people testifying and nothing but political games going on. Again, I say - "Why can't we all just get along?"

lyrics

Talking heads on my TV screen
They're all saying the same damn thing
It's either suicide, or paradise

Round and round
Like a merry go round
One day we're up, next one we're down
And another one testifies

CHORUS:
I gotta move on
get my groove on
wear my sunglasses in the rain
it’s time I wake up and shake it up
wear my sunglasses in the rain
just to keep my self sane

same ole line same ole lies
heard it a million times …
a million times … before

Doesn't matter if you're red or blue
If you've got the money, the power's for you
It's a high-stakes game, and we all lose

CHORUS
I gotta move on
get my groove on
wear my sunglasses in the rain
it’s time I wake up and shake it up
wear my sunglasses in the rain
and keep my self sane

Am I awake, or am I still here dreaming
I feel like I'm trapped inside this clown show
We've all got hearts and they just keep on bleeding
Why can't we all, for once, just get along?

I gotta move on
get my groove on
wear my sunglasses in the rain
it’s time I wake up and shake it up
wear my sunglasses in the rain
and keep my self sane!

OUTRO
Why can't we all just get along?
