It’s pretty dated, but a lot of it is still relevant today. Goodness Gracious is there nothing left to say? When the ones that get to keep looking Are the ones that look away It’s pabulum for the sleepers In the cult of brighter days Goodness Gracious at the mercy of the crooks We’re broke and stroking vegetables And there’s way too many cooks In every pot a pink slip, In every mouth a hook Goodness Gracious I’m not listening anymore Cause the spooks are in the White House And they’ve justified a war So wake me when they notify We’re gonna fight some more Goodness Gracious not many people care Concern is getting scarcer True compassion really rare I can see it on our faces. I can feel it in the air Goodness Gracious me Goodness Gracious my generation’s lost They burned down all our bridges Before we had a chance to cross Is it the winter of our discontent or just an early frost? Goodness Gracious of apathy I sing The baby boomers had it all and wasted everything Now recess is almost over And they won’t get off the swing Goodness Gracious we came in at the end No sex that isn’t dangerous, no money left to spend We’re the cleanup crew for parties We were too young to attend Goodness Gracious me Goodness Gracious my grandma used to say The world’s a scary place now Things were different in her day What horrors will be commonplace When my hair starts to grey?
An impossible task, choosing a favorite. So I’ll just go with the first one that came to mind:
Goodness Gracious, by Kevin Gilbert (RIP). It’s pretty dated, but a lot of it is still relevant today.
Goodness Gracious is there nothing left to say?
When the ones that get to keep looking
Are the ones that look away
It’s pabulum for the sleepers
In the cult of brighter days
Goodness Gracious at the mercy of the crooks
We’re broke and stroking vegetables
And there’s way too many cooks
In every pot a pink slip, In every mouth a hook
Goodness Gracious I’m not listening anymore
Cause the spooks are in the White House
And they’ve justified a war
So wake me when they notify
We’re gonna fight some more
Goodness Gracious not many people care
Concern is getting scarcer
True compassion really rare
I can see it on our faces. I can feel it in the air
Goodness Gracious me
Goodness Gracious my generation’s lost
They burned down all our bridges
Before we had a chance to cross
Is it the winter of our discontent or just an early frost?
Goodness Gracious of apathy I sing
The baby boomers had it all and wasted everything
Now recess is almost over
And they won’t get off the swing
Goodness Gracious we came in at the end
No sex that isn’t dangerous, no money left to spend
We’re the cleanup crew for parties
We were too young to attend
Goodness Gracious me
Goodness Gracious my grandma used to say
The world’s a scary place now
Things were different in her day
What horrors will be commonplace
When my hair starts to grey?
