Lyrics
This song contains everything
Everything ever sung
Everything ever done
The ends of the earth
The living & the dead
Everything ever said
This song contains everything
Everything in the world
Every boy & every girl
In here is the even
In here the odd
In here we still kneel
Before the Lord our G-d
And in here some do not
This song is like a ledger
Every credit every debit
Every scratching every edit
Every good thought
Every bad thought
All things sold
And every item bought
Every gun every bomb
The splitting of the atom
Your next pogrom madam
This song contains the plague
This verse gave me AIDS
This line couldn’t save
The choruses choked
With every kind of sickness
All this singing was just
A plea for forgiveness
The analog, the digital
The wine you said was drinkable
The Tower of Babel
The grave, the cradle
And evidence inadmissible
This song contains the love
All the brotherhood of man
All that don’t give a damn
All of the lust
And all of the pain
Every commitment
That swirled down the drain
Every vow & oath
The sacred & profane
The murdered, the widowed
The whole, the lame
The obedient and those you couldn’t tame
This song contains your soul
And everything you did wrong
Everything that can be
Is contained in this song
At the beginning we’re alive
And if we get to the end
You’ll find it’s all been written
It’s all been said
The arguments fought
With the sword or the pen
But no one remembers
Most of them
You’ll find some who are lost
And some who are found
And if we get to the end
We’ve heard the sound
Of everything ever sung
….everything ever done
….nothing new under the sun
