Over the Finish Line

Once in a lifetime the power is ours But we'd rather stare at our phones Talking about nothing, heads in the clouds Might as well leave it alone If I could change a mind, whose mind? If I could make something get us o'er the finish line America's bleeding, we're watching her die Fire and blood on the screen Her headlights receding, she's waving goodbye The curtain comes down on the scene Holding her torch high, stumbling below Luck be a lady tonight Ships in the shadows, heavy laden with gold See how they catch the light If I could change a mind, whose mind? If I could make something get us o'er the finish line We're living in hard times, feeling hard times Living in hard times These are hard times, hard times Living in hard times (hard times) These are hard times I became a mother, trying to figure it out Everything fills me with dread What'll we leave her? Words stick in my mouth I hear your voice in my head What is this democracy? Carrie, I fear that we've made our beds If I could change a mind, whose mind? If I could make something get us o'er the finish line We're living in hard times, feeling hard times We're living in hard times These are hard times We're living in hard, hard times Feeling hard times Living in hard times
