Down, Down, Down

Was in a good mood, decided to write a song.

Down, Down, Down

by Jeremy Cooney

 

 I’ve dreamed a life full of innovation

A future much brighter, a billion to one

Undersea turbines, lasso the sun

‘fore it goes down, down, down

Alter the tank to be shovel and plow

Fisherman carpenter, hawk, ram and cow

Time to get ready, that storms coming now

Two by two we go

Down, down, down, down

 

One is too many, twelve’s not enough

Same story, new names, bored of this stuff

You say it’s a pipedream, I call your bluff

Polls are down, down, down, down

Freedom for all broke in 1902

Mr. Morgan got some ‘splainin to do

Fire up the generators, skies turn deep blue

As the lightning comes crashin

Down, down, down, down

 

Don’t expect you to jump right away

But gallon by gallon we’re dying each day

Competing for food like it’s 5kbc

Want a solution, well listen to me

No? Then we go

Down, down, down, down

           

Life ain’t a blessing, life ain’t a curse

Could always get better, could always be worse

It’s a scary a*s ride, whose going first

It goes up, down, up down

So at my funeral pass the mug around

Scatter my ashes, not to be found

Sing songs round a fire, laugh till you hit the ground

It’s a jolly good day when we go

Down, down, down, down

 

Don’t expect to read all my sin

Don’t think I’ll be asked to start again

Don’t really want to be haloed or horned

Not to be praised, not to be scorned

Only expecting to go

Down, down

Down, down, down, down
