[ Featuring Anaïs Mitchell ]
Once in a lifetime the power is ours
But we'd rather stare at our phones
Talking about nothing, heads in the clouds
Might as well leave it alone
If I could change a mind, whose mind?
If I could make something get us o'er the finish line
America's bleeding, we're watching her die
Fire and blood on the screen
Her headlights receding, she's waving goodbye
The curtain comes down on the scene
Holding her torch high, stumbling below
Luck be a lady tonight
Ships in the shadows, heavy laden with gold
See how they catch the light
If I could change a mind, whose mind?
If I could make something get us o'er the finish line
We're living in hard times, feeling hard times
Living in hard times
These are hard times, hard times
Living in hard times (hard times)
These are hard times
I became a mother, trying to figure it out
Everything fills me with dread
What'll we leave her? Words stick in my mouth
I hear your voice in my head
What is this democracy?
Carrie, I fear that we've made our beds
If I could change a mind, whose mind?
If I could make something get us o'er the finish line
We're living in hard times, feeling hard times
We're living in hard times
These are hard times
We're living in hard, hard times
Feeling hard times
Living in hard times
