New Leaf
when everybody dies around you, from someone else's gun,
it really makes you stop and think about the years to come.
something good had to happen to the human race.
we all had better stop hoping and set our heads on straight.
you've gotta turn over a new leaf,
'cause that old one's turning on you.
we've gotta turn over a new leaf.
if the future's only hoped for, we are doomed.
today is over, it's already shot, so we can think about ourselves.
they keep on working on our nature, they're saying that can only help.
start throwing out your pockets, keep what you really only need.
save life and earth and water, there can't be any other need.
you've gotta turn over a new leaf,
'cause that old one's turning on you.
you've gotta turn over a new leaf.
if the future's only hoped for, we are doomed.
you've gotta turn over a new leaf,
'cause that old one's turning on you.
we've gotta turn over a new leaf.
and let your love come on through.
you've gotta turn over a new leaf,
'cause that old one's turning on you.
we've gotta turn over a new leaf,
a new, a new, a new.
We recommend: I Can Show You
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all God's children
Crept out the back door
And it's hard to love
