Good or bad, most Americans used to take responsibility for the things they did. And some still do. But I don’t see it so much anymore.
People running the country don’t take responsibility. So why should YOU?
Hang on for a sec, and I’ll tell you why. But first a word or two about the top dog knuckleheads in America.
Yeah. Governors, state and federal, senators, and members of state and federal congress love to blame and point their fingers at members of the opposite “party.” But rarely, if ever, will you find even one of them willing to take responsibility for the bad stuff. And there’s bukoo bad stuff.
They love to create a maze of committees for just about anything you can think of. And that makes it super easy for no one person to ever actually take responsibility for anything. Unwise policies continue to bankrupt our country and even destroy lives. But it’s no ONE’s fault. So, here’s the saddest truth hidden in plain site.
All those people who devised all these destructive laws, policies, and side deals, were either elected or appointed by others who were elected.
Elected.
11 years ago I wrote some lyrics about this problem. And I said it’s about taking…
Responsibility
I heard…my sweet dreams shatter…
Blue skies fell around my feet.
My plans…they just don’t matter…
Big lies and elite deceit.
Same thing…throughout the ages.
Same words out of different lips.
False hopes…on empty pages…
Crash course with a truth eclipse.
And it all seems helpless, hopeless
In a world that’s full of brokenhearted,
Reckless, faithless,
From the ones still here and the dear departed.
When was all this madness started?
When we began to flee
From responsibility.
I saw the spotlight lifted.
Dark days covered all the hearts.
Don’t know when the whole thing shifted.
Who cares once the damage starts.
I wrote a sad life story.
Just words one could soon forget.
