Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Another Sunny Day 12/25

We see it on TV we get calls on the phone

By the prophets of doom they won´t leave us alone

The planet is dying and there´s no time to spare

They spend all our days sowing seeds of despair

We get enough bad news to harden our hearts

This fear what we feed on is what´s keeping us apart

To say that we doomed is just an obvious remark

And it don´t make you right it just keep you in the dark

I don´t want to live angry

I don´t want to live scared

I don´t need no more prophets crying

"Brother beware"

Just put some work in my hand

And give me a dollar to spare

And don´t let me sow those seeds of despair

Well this earth is a graveyard it will swallow our bones

It was here long before us it will be here when we´re gone

And it´s a vain generation that looks for a sign

Don´t you think we could make better use of our time

Yeah, the air could be cleaner and the water could be too

But what we do to each other are the worst things that we do

And we can treasure our freedoms behind our locked doors

But God speed the day when we´re lonely no more

I don´t want to live angry

I don´t want to live scared

I don´t need no more prophets crying

"Brother beware"

Just put some work in my hand

And give me a dollar to spare

And don´t let me sow those seeds of despair
