What's so Funny 'bout Peace, Love & Understanding?
2004-01-30 16:27:41 ET


As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?


So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

I ain't no hero

dude, I had one fucked up dream about an hour or so ago. (yes, I only woke up an hour ago.)
I was hanging out at a Restaurant in a nearby mall, dancing, there was some sort of TV Crew there, not quite sure why... then I looked up out of the sky light in the roof,
and planes were just dropping out of the sky. none fell on the building, but everything just kinda stopped and the ground was rumbling when they crashed. At least 4, that I saw before I walked, calmly through the crowd.
it was really scary. and I actually noticed that the mall's music system started playing real dramatic, movie music as everyone ran out the doors.

I-76 - the Sure-to-kill Expressway

A dirty path cut
through the snowy hillside
my car rumbles along
and I pray I don't die

if my wheel should slip
or the tires loose their grip
oh, how I dread the trip
over the snowy bank

and the trees so tranquil
covered in white
whisper not a word
of my terror tonight

as I look up at the sky
amazingly blue
I notice my foot
is without a shoe.

"knocked my socks off,"
I chuckle and laugh
and give in to the cold,
white powdery bath

An army of flakes
slowly marches my way
as slow as the traffic
on the Schukill today

Wipers move uselessly
and clear my view ahead
of an accident in the snow
and the newly found dead.

My dream made reality
my terror come true
when something like this happens
you're glad it wasn't you.

Cars pass by
like flakes in a storm
living people
in cars toasty warm

pass the scene
like a moment in time
frozen scene of life
no answer to "why"

like snowflakes fall
the moment is gone
and for those not affected
life simply moves on

yet why am I the one
to notice life pass?
to feel the pain
and why now, at last?

Maybe it's my openness
or too big of a heart
maybe it's my mind
something sets me apart

but as the snow blocks my view
through my rear window I cry
because frustration and sadness
and no answer to "why."
