Schwa Lyrics

Here Today...Gone Tomorrow

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

The birds in the trees are singing a tune
A farmer is whistling, he's singing a tune
The old widow lady is singing a tune
But the radio's playing a message of doom

Growing suspense, it's happened before
Meetings of Big Whigs, it's happened before
A dream of a new world, it's happened before
The newspaper's showing signs of pre-war

Soon we won't be where we are today
The breath of life is the price we'll pay
We will suffer the penalty
Well, it's bombs away, and it's over, and over, and over

Is this what we really want today
The breath of life is the price we'll pay
Is self-destruction the remedy
Well, it's bombs away, and it's over, and over, and over

The birds in the trees will happen no more
The playing of children will happen no more
The break of a new day will happen no more
Will this be the message to settle the score

Is this what we really want today
The breath of life is the price we’ll pay
Is self-destruction the remedy
Well, it's bombs away, and it's over, and over, and over
I said it’s bombs away and it’s over, and over, and over
Well, you know it’s bombs away, and it’s over, and over, and…
