STATUS QUO

(written by Randy Kartchner & Kenneth Cope)

 

Read – boys fight for power – war every hour

Read – oil in the water – earth is the martyr

Read – still dealing the powder – with death getting louder

Yeah read – mounting disaster – man is the master

 

Can we escape what lies in store

This road that we take, can we take it much more

 

CHORUS:

Woa, status quo – you’re needin’ alterations

Woa, status quo – a transformation

 

Wake up – they’re looking for labor

But can’t read the paper

Why, why, why – “big brother” to billions

But what of our children

 

We’re nearing too late – we’re falling apart

Maybe lucky today – but luck runs just so far

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

We’re in overhead, and starting to sink

Right down the drain – where ruin and time meet

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Woa, status quo – modifications

Woa, status quo – a transformation
