    It makes me mad that people think there is no good current music out there. Come out from under your rocks and explore. You have a whole new world to explore.

      Sad would be better. But, yeah, people sometimes stop growing at some point and just stagnate, running in the same old, same old circles. That's not what life is about. If you're not changing and growing, you're out of the game.

    Feeling bad
    Feeling blue
    Can't get out of my own mind
    I know how to sing about it
    Ring of bone
    A little lonely
    I better hit the road, child
    We can cry into the phone a while
    Jubilee
    Find me
    Steady with your hope now
    That little light's gotta last a while
    Like an arrow to the marrow
    I know it feels like hell now
    'Til we make it to the other side
    You want good news
    You want sanctuary
    When you try to get real
    Oh, they break you on the wheel
    You wanna move
    You want sanctuary
    That's all that I can offer to you
    From the bottom to the bone
    To the bone
    Get used to the bad news
    It's all part of the show, child
    Handsome Johnny had to go, child
    What did you feel, brother?
    Bad dreams
    Oh, there's something you should know now
    Little things that'll cut you down
    Ragged people
    Hard times
    And the lightning strikes the poorhouse
    The rich man cries like a crocodile
    Salvation
    Despair
    But the game that they taught me
    Sometimes it feels like it just ain't fair
    You want good news
    You want sanctuary
    When you try to get real
    Oh, they break you on the wheel
    You wanna move
    You want sanctuary
    That's all that I can offer to you
    From the bottom to the bone
    To the bone
    Yeah, to the bone
    Ah, to the bone
    Yeah, to the bone
    Ah, to the bone
    Yeah, to the bone
    Ah, to the bone
    Feeling bad
    Feeling blue
    Can't get out of my own mind
    But I know how to sing about it

    Great message. Lovely supporting cast. Yes, this land is your land, my land, but we're going to have to stand up for it--eyes and minds wide open and working. A little sanctuary will be helpful from time to time. And yes, all we've got to do is step outside--go for a walk, down by the creek, through the fields and into the natural world waiting to embrace and heal until it can't any more. We need to get busy with some giving back to what's brought us life and offers to sustain it if we'll just dig in with hearts, minds and souls.

    I think that this song is actually about gospel that bridges the Old Testament to the new. Handsome Johnny is in reference to John the Baptist and the rich man who cries like a crocodile is Lazarus.

    Besides that, the song shines a light on the issues with social media (phobia). Altough the the lyric seem to refer to social issues in the US, and somewhat connected to your election. (I'm a swede and I definetly dont have a say but keep on working for equality and basic human rights)
