ANYMORE

 

Harry Stamper

 

I can't sing about the torment of a love that's left behind

When our leaders can't agree on a future for mankind.

I can't praise those good old prison days, there's too much to fight for,

Just gets hard to sing those songs anymore.

 

I grew up with Hank Williams and the music of my dad,

Singing songs about the outlaws and the heroes good and bad.

When the lessons of the past have become something to ignore,

Just gets hard to sing those songs anymore.

 

Chorus:

Well I know there's a time to run, I know there's a time to hide,

I know there's a time when we should all let a cooler head decided.

There's a time to hold on and a time to let go,

And a time to just stand up and tell them, "No!"

 

No more Nicaraguas, no more Viet Nams,

No more rolling over, no more sitting on your hands.

When your standing in the shadow of your last and final war,

Just gets hard to sing those songs anymore.

 

I can't sing about the railroads, or about the good old days,

When there's people who can end our world in 50 thousand ways,

And we pay for prosperity with the slaughter of the poor,

Just gets hard to sing those songs anymore.

 

I'd love to be the singer that makes everybody dance,

And I'd like to see my children grow up if they have the chance,

When the lessons of the past have become something to ignore,

Just gets hard to sing those songs anymore.

 

Chorus
