I don't know what reminded me of this song last night, but I suddenly realized just how apropos it is for the time we are living through.
Sung as only Birch can.
For some of you, one verse will strike home.
For some of you, the other verse will strike home.
For some, both verses will hit home.
In any case, I think the third verse will speak for all of us.
==============
Sunshine go away today
Don't feel much like dancin'
Some man's come, he's tryin' to run my life
Don't know what he's askin'
He tells me I'd better get in line
Can't hear what he's sayin'
When I grow up I'm gonna make it mine
But these aren't dues I been payin'
How much does it cost? I'll buy it
The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
He can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine
Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancin'
Some man's gone he's tried to run my life
Don't know what he's askin'
Workin' starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are goin'
He says in love and war all is fair
But he's got cards he ain't showin'
How much does it cost? I'll buy it
The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
But he can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine
Sunshine come on back another day
I promise you I'll be singin'
This old world, she's gonna turn around
Brand new bells'll be ringin'
