Lyrics

11. LAST THINGS FIRST

Seen a lot of strange things
The best down to the worst
Time to try to change things
Time to flip the script
Put the last things first

Money likes its power
It’s hard to quench its thirst
Hides up in a tower
Laughing when it hears
Put the last things first
Last things first

Look who we admire
Scoundrels, megalomaniacs and billionaires
The darkness of desire
Con men caring only what the market bears
So much left behind
A laundry list, from housing to a living wage
While election deniers
Sycophants and liars
Feed us all a diet filled with fear and rage
They’ll drag us to the Stone Age

Judges with their hands out
Established law reversed
The shady dealing stands out
Time to pay the bill
Put the last things first

A time of hope and sorrow
Are we blessed or are we cursed?
Faith can come tomorrow
We’re tested here and now
Put the last things first

Devil’s at the door
His act is well rehearsed
Fraud and nothing more
Put the last things first
Thunder’s gonna roll
The bubble’s gonna burst
Look into your soul
Put the last things first
Look into your soul
Put the last things first
