Music Challenge Day 8: Good People

Song: Good People

Artist: Jack Johnson

Wow. Today has been interesting. So the Supreme Court basically doesn't want to deal with cases involving same-sex marriage issues anymore and are just allowing judges to have the final say on these issues without taking into consideration the majority vote of the state. That being said, same-sex marriage was legalized in my state today. Amazing how literally TWO DAYS ago, our church leaders counseled us on the changing times and the way we should handle these challenging situations and differences. With love and kindness and respect. But still staying strong to what we believe and know to be true. I believe marriage is between a MAN and a WOMAN. I believe in God's law of marriage. Although I do feel sorry for individuals who have to live with these challenges (same-sex attraction), I still don't believe in that kind of life style.

Anyway, I thought this song was very appropriate for today and the world we are living in.

You win
It's your show, now
So what's it gonna be
'Cause people
Will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch of
We thought this was low
It's bad getting worse so

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that and
With a rattle a tat
Testing one two,
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused,
Got too much to lose
Gimme some truth
Now whose side are we on?
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube
I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray by the way, now

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
Sitting round feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris
Can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great its all gonna be
You might notice some hesitation
'Cause it's important to you, it's not important to me
Way down by the edge of your reasons
It's beginning to show
And all I really wanna know is...

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow
They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one, two
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused, give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway?
OK, whatever you say.
Wrong and resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
Going, going, gone.
