How Good Would Life Be (11) 1940"s swing/big band
Lyrics
Verse 1
How good would life be if the headlines told the truth,
Instead of selling fear and calling it the news?
If every breaking story didn't come with a spin,
And facts didn't change depending who was cashing in?
If neighbors weren't divided by every new crusade,
And common sense mattered more than the left-right games being played?
If people could speak freely without pointing fingers at you and me.
And we could disagree without becoming enemies?
Pre-Chorus
Maybe we're closer than we think,
Maybe all it takes is open our eyes,
That most folks just want to live their lives,
And choose their own destiny.
Chorus
How good would life be?
How free would we be?
If the powers that shouldn't be
Stopped shaping our destiny.
How high could we fly?
How far could we see?
Without the powers that shouldn't be. ?
Verse 2
How good would life be if our food was left pure and clean,Not loaded up with G.M.O.'s that don't belong in what we eat?
If the labels told the whole truth, plain and clear to see,
And profit wasn't hiding where our health ought to be?Questions meet with silence, answers hard to find,
Leaving ordinary people wondering what's behind.How about billionaires with their insane logic, like Bill Gates and Larry Fink saying trust us, it will work like magic. Releasing G.M.O ticks and mosquitoes while saying it'll be fine?
Who decided they should play the authority of health,
Making choices for the world from the comfort of their wealth?if our food was left pure and safe,without harmful fillers and sprayed with gly-phosate.How about the skies being constantly sprayed,with Chemicals to dim the sun?with AluminumBarium Strontium and Biologicals.
Pre-ChorusMaybe we're closer than we think,
Maybe all it takes is a chance,
To hear each other out before
We're told where we're supposed to stand.
Chorus
? How good would life be?
How free would we be?
If the powers that shouldn't be
Stopped shaping our destiny.
How high could we fly?
How far could we see?
Without the powers that shouldn't be. ?
Bridge
Maybe we'd trust our own eyes,
Instead of waiting to be told,
What's approved to think tomorrow,
And what's forbidden to know.
Maybe we'd laugh a little louder,
Sleep a little deeper at night,
Spend less time being managed,
And more time getting life right.
Final Chorus (Bigger, with harmony)
How good would life be?
How free would we be?
If the powers that shouldn't be
Stopped shaping our destiny.
How high could we fly?
How far could we see?
Without the powers that shouldn't be.
No hands upon the wheel,
No strings on you and me,
Just ordinary people living free,
Without the powers that shouldn't be. ?
Outro
How good would life be?
Maybe someday we'll see...
What a beautiful world it could be,
Without the powers that shouldn't be. ?
