פרשנות לשיר: Celebration - David Mallett

Sometimes you just don't feel like tryin', Too many politicians lyin', Too many hungry babies cryin', Too many random bullets flyin'. Too much time spent in struggle, Too many little kids in trouble, Too many cities gone to rubble, Too many people talkin' double.

This can't be our destination, This could be a better nation, Time to set the big horse racin', We can change the situation. Trains are leavin' from the station, Need a brand new generation, This could be a celebration now, now.

Situations changin' fast, Too much plastic too much trash, Too many smoke stacks spewing ash, Too many people with no cash. Too much waste not enough water, Too many abandoned sons and daughters, Too many lost and hopeless feelings, Too many lowdown shady dealings.

This can't be our destination, This could be a better nation, Time to set the big horse racin', Need a brand new generation. Trains are leavin' from the station, Me I got no reservation, This could be a celebration now, now.

All the time I hear this roaring, Pavement steel and iron ore and, People shouting all so sure that, Their side is the right side more and, More. I see abandoned floors and Stores, weary tired and poorer all the Time folks, they're just buried in the Wine, because they're all so bored and It's become unnatural the, Way we need the things without a, Reason feed the greed the weeds grow, From the roots we're all runnin' from the Truth. We choose to fight instead to, Prove ourselves leave love and hope, Upon the shelf divided they're just, Free to sell us anything.

This can't be our destination, This could be a better nation, Time to set the big horse racin', Need a brand new generation. Time to change the conversation, Trains are leavin' from the station, This could be a celebration now, now.

Too many people looking down, Too many closed up factory towns, Too much high priced propaganda, Too much sadness in this land of Dreams. That once could all come true, Now it's down to me and you, Tell me what you gonna do, Tell me what you gonna do now,
