Ned Farr & The Good Red Road

Lyrics

May you live your days
In interesting times
When history repeats
Or sneaks up as it rhymes
Try and find the center
Try and find the line
In this balance of darkness
And the light of the divine

Where laugh leads to mad
Can’t leads to could
Where joy leads to sad
Leads to burned neighborhoods

Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
To no good

Who’s next to be cancelled
Who’s star is on the rise
With the madness of the crowds
And then the rush to choose a side
The morning is a new day
But the night will soon arrive
From sleep to awake
From a dream to a bitter real life

Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
Good leads to baaaad
Bad leads to goooood
Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
To no good

Pendulum swings to a better life
Pendulum swings to a bitter life

Pendulum swings
It’s an oscillating sting
It’s the rush to kiss the ring
Of the fool we made a king
It’s the pigs on the wing
It’s the rise of broken things
It’s the screaming while you sing
It’s the fall after the spring
After we fall again
As we swing again

(To the left, to the right…)

May you live your days
In interesting times
When history repeats
Throwing tear gas as it rhymes

Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
Good leads to baaaad
Bad leads to goooood
Good leads to bad
Bad leads to good
To no good

Pendulum swings to a better life
Pendulum swings to a bitter life
