lyrics

The New Abnormal
by Steve Sauvain and Jim Ocean
I have run from fire
I am breathing smoke
This is not a joke
It’s the New Abnormal (x2)
I have watched this country
Tearing at the seams
This is not a dream
It’s the New Abnormal (x2)
Hail, tornados and hurricanes
The spreading deserts
and the pouring rain
The ocean roarin’ at my door
And this is something that
you can’t ignore
I have lost my job
My old life is gone
I just don’t belong
In the New Abnormal
In the New Abnormal
I hope someday
Things will all come back
I’m falling down the cracks
Of the New Abnormal
Of the New Abnormal
I’m worried for my children’s lives
With the future coming
how will they survive
Dark clouds are forming
and it’s overcast
And the planet’s changing
way too fast
It’s the New Abnormal (x2)
What’s normal once
ain’t so normal now
We should come together
‘fore our time runs out
If we fight each other in the waves
the tide will sweep us all away
I have run from fire
I am breathing smoke
This is not a joke
It’s the New Abnormal
