What Do We Do Now? by Jimmy Halliday

Lyrics:

What do we do now? The world is crashing

Do we hold onto each other or burn it down?

Do we all weep now and mourn it’s passing?

Could we all band together and gain some ground?

Well I know what I’m doing

I will never roll over, I’ll never give in

And I hope you’re pursuing

A similar path to political sin

And we’ll meet each other at the end

What do we do now? It looks like it’s over

Do we shutter the windows and close up shop?

Can we put faith in four-leaf clovers?

Or send strongly-worded letters asking them to stop?

(Firebomb courthouses and throw bricks at cops)

Well I know what I’m doing

I will never concede, I will never back down

And I hope you’re renewing

A commitment to never live under a crown

And we’ll meet each other at the end

What do we do now? The curtain’s closing

Do we run for the exits and miss the chance

To see all of the actors without their clothing

And expose all their habits of happenstance? Well I know what I’m doing

I will neve surrender, no I won’t comply

It would be our undoing

To have all of our struggle be disqualified

It might take some accruing

But our modicum effort can intensify

And lay bare their misdoings

‘Til the people can no longer turn a blind eye

And we’ll meet each other...

But this is not the end
