The Source
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Morning comes and I'm up on time again
Upon getting up and I'm down on what I got up for
Boring, dumb, and fine
It's been a long time my friend
You haven't changed, neither have I
So why you wanna bring that up
I feel it started at the source
What is it that makes you cry and why?
When you see a documentary and know the outcome
And that it's fucked
You still hope Hitler will blow up
And that Kennedy will duck
I feel it started at the source
