09. As The World Turns

Vox Humana
by Daniel Amos



 

I'm checking out,
Checking on a late-night flight,
LAX; a horror show,
Still I'd rather be here sweating out another take-off than living in the valley below,
And I never get no comfort in the earth or sky,
My belief; they're not my home,
The world spins one way, but I go another,
Against the grain one often stands alone.

As the world turns, slaps me hard,
As the world turns, tells me I'm weak,
As the world turns, I drop my guard,
As the world turns, I turn the other cheek,
I said, Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
I put it all together in the exercise yard.

Dreams that die too easy in the vengeance of time,
Some values given up for others,
This, I think, the essence of our tragedy,
Falseness: our bond with one another,
And you always hear about it in the evening news,
You get it in the morning paper,
But if you think it's always gonna be this way,
I say it's gonna change, sooner or later.

As the world turns, slaps me hard,
As the world turns, tells me I'm weak,
As the world turns, I drop my guard,
As the world turns, I turn the other cheek,
I said, Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
I put it all together in the exercise yard.

Slaps me hard,
Slaps me hard,
A slap on my face,
You know it slaps me hard.

Many people wanting the elixir of youth, few defeats and few disasters,
Stifling; the only thing that changes it all,
Love is what I'm going after,
Achievements always falling into yesterday,
I'm a pupil in an intro class,
New cars, travels, love affairs cannot provide the way out of life's iron cast.

As the world turns, slaps me hard,
As the world turns, tells me I'm weak,
As the world turns, I drop my guard,
As the world turns, I turn the other cheek,
I say, Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
I put it all together in the exercise yard,
I said, Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
Hey oh, slaps me hard,
I put it all together in the exercise yard.
