lyrics

TRAGEDY MAGENT

If I were you, I’d be wondering too
if I would die of Lupus, too much Coumadin, or AIDS
If I were you, I’d be moaning and groaning
and having a hard time not complaining
of all the aches and the paining
But you change the topic and wonder why
the others die before you
they are too young (your young self says)
shot to the head, died in his bed
Oooooh, too much sorrow
But I’m not you, you my beautiful tragedy magnet
But I’m not you, you my beautiful tragedy magent

I know you wonder OOh why why why
yet your spirit rises over the injustice
flying all around you
you have hope, hope
you have hope, Hope
you have hope that you can do something good for humanity

If I were you I’d be having a hard time forgiving
the people that are spinning around hurting you
If I were you, I’d be ooh so bitter
for all that life’s littered
on your beautiful world view

I know you wonder why why why
yet your spirit rises over all the justice dying around you
You have hope, hope deep within you
Hope, and I hope
I hope that I can be half the person you are in suffering
There is hope, hope, there is hope HOPE....
There is hope, hope, hope, oooh there is hope.
