about

Week twenty two's single from my New Single Every Week For A Year Project is 'The Transformation Power'.

This song was written in one day with Liz Hanley.

lyrics

How's the weather?
How's your mother? How's your sister?
They've been yelling every time they get together.
And your brother doesn't bother with your father,
He doesn't think that there's a reason for talking.
I saw your cousin out with her mister
I thought that he was gonna bite but he kissed her
But she didn't listen, she was too busy on her phone and she missed it.

We've had the television on for too long
Basically from the moment that we were born
We didn't notice how it always was on
Now it's like no one remembers how to talk.

How's your grandma? She's a racist.
So's my grandpa, how are we gonna face it?
Should we cancel? Should we kill them?
Or should we maybe shut the fuck up and listen?
Have a civilized conversation,
Take a moment to see we're triggered
And teaching, help each other
To deal with all of this endless information.

When we've had the television on for too long
We give that money machine all of our Power!
Nobody's right when everything's wrong
We need the transformation Power!

We need the transformation Power!

I saw your picture on social media
You look so happy but I know no one speaks t'ya
I had a vision, we're at a table
Everyone shut up and finally were listening and seeing
It's not the movies, It's not the snowflakes,
It's not the people who look different from you and me.
It's not the vaccine, It's not the police,
It's not the academics, wealthy, or lazy.
It's not your history, it's not the sickly,
It's not the elephants or donkeys or policies

It's we've had the television on for too long,
We give that money machine all of our POWER!
Nobody's right when everything's wrong.
We don't need Death and Money POWER.
We need the transformation Power!
We need the transformation Power!
We don't need Death and Money POWER.
We need the transformation Power!

We need the transformation Power!
