First Day of 2007

First day of 2007
Means absolutely nothing
A circle has no beginning or end
The earth goes around the sun
We have arbitrarily picked a day
We call "the beginning"
Same old sorry-ass thing in Times Square
There's 6 billion people NOT in Times Square
There's a billion that don't have food
And don't give a flying you-know-what
About the so-called party
In Times Sqaure
Think of it rather
As another day of life
Another chance
-----------------------------
Another year passses by
Another child asks us why
Another flower will die
And so the year passes by

Another day will begin
Another vote will come in
Another bullet will fly
And so the day will pass by

The years march by in front of you
But do you care if the sky is still blue
Or only care if your private dreams come true?

And so the year has begun
Here we go 'round the sun
Maybe this time we'll know why
Another year passes by
