All The Rage

M.L. Kortes

Everybody's doin' it

Cut a piece, keep chewin' it

Don't look for much that's true in it

It makes them happy

From country club to county fair

They're savoring their steely stare

The chill is spilling everywhere

They're safe and happy

Let everyone see

It's all the rage in the world

All the rage in the world

When mama was a baby child

All that mattered was her mother's smile

Safe from the politics of style

So very happy

The epidemic took her bones

The call to worship empty thrones

And laugh out loud while throwing stones

So safe and happy

But all that I see

Is all the rage in the world

All the rage in the world

Another page is torn and curled

With all the rage in the world

What does it take to turn away

From dark distortions of the day

A people joined by love of hate

The fear that takes us all by storm

Has cut a path now too well worn

Where differences are hated

Instead of celebrated

Following the followers

Voluntarily coerced

A glimpse that truth can be reversed

CHORUS
