about

It's almost bi-polar to oscillate between optimism and pessimism except it ain't cause if you look at what's going on it can be pretty depressing, the fouling of the environment, the suppression of democracy... yet there are moments where the people working together to alleviate these issues lifts your spirits.

lyrics

Ferngarden Hills, Mount Everest Way
Peachtree Trace,
Fox Point Bay
blue hill desert amber waves of grain

chorus:
I oscillate minute to minute
from anxiety to Joie de vivre
oh joie de vivre (3x)

2.
agricultural pesticides multiplied
industrial run-off poison
hostage to jobs
dead lake vision profits economics - chorus

3.
I have to ask in the course of my humiliation
where do I stand
in the land
of supply and demand - chorus

4.
change in the climate shift in the wind
carrying our seed to inhospital swim
life blood on fire
oil clouds rolling in

you or I can't be read or reached
without sympathy empathy
oh joie de vivre (3x)
