Lyrics
Lately, I get the feeling that
It’s later than they’re telling us
Outside, spring’s begun again
But the calendar calls it winter
It’s open season on the poor and yes
Unreason strikes its pose again
Medieval, how this plotline bends
Takes a village now to withstand it
Lately, it’s oh so obvious
The past lives in the present
The soil holds the seed until
That future flower starts to blossom
Lately, I’ve got the feeling that
It’s later than they’re telling us
Outside, spring’s begun again
But the calendar calls it winter
It’s open season on the poor and yes
Unreason strikes its pose again
Medieval, how this plotline bends
Takes a village now to withstand it
Takes a village now to withstand it
Takes a village now to withstand it
Plant your victory garden
