Session 1 Round 1 - Challenge!
Alright everyone, here it is-- the very first challenge post! :D I'm very excited. ^.^
We have 32 participants (yaaaaaaaaay!) and sign ups will remain open until the first voting is posted.
For our first challenge we're going to start off with a nice, easy lyrical challenge. That and I can't get this song out of my head. XD
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday
Preachers on the podium speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking bout nothing, not thinking bout death
Every little heartbeat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope
On a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence
There ain't no reason
Things are this way
It's how they've always been
and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say
The things that I say
But I say them anyway
Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back make you sell your soul
Like a lung it's filled with coal, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
The politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit
To argue the truth
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery is stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow
Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way,
We do it everyday
Give it a listen?
