Crazy Times
Navigating Chaos: Prairie Anthem's Reflection on Turbulent Realities
Lyrics
Upside down, inside out; shaken up and tossed about
Chaos and disruption; everything feels disoriented and unsettled
Certainty turns into doubt, in these crazy, crazy times
Confidence transforms into uncertainty during this tumultuous period
Civility is compromised, friends and neighbors polarized
Social politeness is compromised; divisions arise among friends and neighbors
Pain and hurt behind injured eyes, in these crazy, crazy times
There's hidden pain and anguish in people's eyes amid these challenging times
Haven’t we been here before? Is this a never ending war
Reflecting on a similar situation in the past; wondering if this conflict will ever end
What was all that fighting for in those crazy times
Questioning the purpose and reasons behind past conflicts during chaotic periods
That page was never turned; there was something we didn’t learn
Lessons from previous experiences were ignored or not comprehended
Why do we choose to return to those crazy, crazy times
Asking why society tends to revisit tumultuous and distressing periods
Pushing, shoving, lines are crossed; breeding hate and breaking laws
Conflict escalates, boundaries are crossed, leading to animosity and law-breaking
Rush to judgment serve’s no one’s cause, in these crazy, crazy times
Rapid judgments don't benefit anyone during these turbulent times
Ya, there are those on every side, who choose to play outside the lines
Individuals on various sides choose to defy norms or rules
But I believe most of us have peace in mind, in these crazy, crazy times
Belief that most people desire peace despite the chaos
Haven’t we been here before? Is this a never ending war
Reiteration of past experiences; wondering if the conflict is perpetual
What was all that fighting for in those crazy times
Questioning the purpose and reasons behind previous conflicts during chaotic times
That page was never turned; there was something we didn’t learn
Failure to comprehend or acknowledge previous mistakes or lessons
Why do we choose to return to those crazy, crazy times
Wondering why society tends to cyclically return to turbulent times
Some folks run, some folks hide, some can’t wait to choose a side
Different reactions of individuals to chaos: some avoid, some take sides eagerly
Some of us won’t be satisfied, til-we-see-the-end of these crazy times
Some won't be content until the resolution of these chaotic times
Crazy times, crazy times, crazy times, crazy times
Emphasizing the repetition and intensity of the chaotic times
