SCARY THOUGHT by Tom Jensen
Blank page so I must fill it
The truth someone must spill it
But it ain’t beans
it’s more like the Hoover Dam
Everything is as it seems
yeah that’s their master plan
Spare me your mystery of illusion
When you hide the problem
it takes longer to propose a solution
I don’t put my trust in anyone I hear
on the radio unless it’s me you know
Someone must carry the torch
that can’t be bought
by money or taken by force
Someone must be able
to share the story we all know
Why should I be the one
to speak for my generation?
Because we need good advice
when it’s our turn to rule the nation
It’s a scary thought
From where I sit
There’s less than twenty years
before we come to it
Can’t blunder it
It’s a wonder that
We’ve yet to find something to believe in
Something greater that ourselves
The magic is still missing
