Been Done Before

I’ve been thinking about this far too long
Trying to decide what’s right and wrong
I say try to invent what’s really you,
What it is true, what you really do
Being someone else is such a bore
And it’s all been done before

When trying to figure out what I want to say
I figured I could just change my ways
Why not today to be the day
In a time of trouble, world of grey
Trying to find new colors to explore
But it’s all been done before

I’m sick and tired of this war
Guns and bombs and blood and gore
Humans die like it’s a game
I don’t have to tell you of its shame
Fighting now I do abhor
And it’s all been done before

And now we got the middle east
I’m quite sure they’ve never heard of peace
There was this one guy who spoke of being free
They hung him up on a tree
Arrows pierce and cannons roar
But that’s all been done before

We got enough bombs to blow up the world
Over and over again and again
Lets build nukes to defend ourselves
We’ll just do that my blowin’ up everybody else
The mushroom cloud will kill many more
But that’s all been done before

hey man that's a bummer no one has replied. I really like it, cool style. I downloaded it last night. the harmonica adds a nice touch. I apologize I thought I responded to this one!

the lyrics are cool the way the wrap around done before is a good twist - your a really good lyricist, dig the tune musically makes me want to grab my friend and do a little quick step while holding a beer that's got to be good right!

give mine a go...

Definately Dylanish...I loved the lyrics and everything about it. Keep it up!

thanks both of you

this verse came to me in class today, you think its worth adding it in? i think i would put it right before the last verse

America plays its games too
trying to fool me and you
The world's police keepin order
Cant even protect its own border
Invading countries, starting wars
But that's all been done before
