Present Situation (D.Dagenais)
I’ve had trouble in my life I’ve seen sorrow,
I’ve seen strife
They tell me that all good things come to stay...
for those who wait
Somehow that doesn’t make
the present situation seem ok
I’m not looking for a saviour
and I’m not looking for a sign
I’ve got these two hands
and I can take what’s mine
That’s the present situation
I’ve had my share of ups and downs
I’ve been robbed and pushed around
They tell me that the meek will still inherit the Earth
on judgment day
Somehow that doesn’t make
the present situation seem ok
I’m not looking for your answers
while I’ve got questions of my own
I got what I got and I got what I own
That’s the present situation
We run around in circles, we run around in pain
We give ourselves the run around
then find someone to blame
I’m not looking for forgiveness;
I don’t want you to atone
I got what I got and
I got it on my own
That’s the present situation
