Magic Answer

written by Jake STilson

Excuse me darling while I grab a beer 

it’s been a long hard day

you’ve seen me toilin’

on down thru the years 

All the long hard way

What makes men often breaks men

It’s on the edge of a knife

You take what you get 

then forget about the rest

And that’s some kind of life

At least that’s the story were fed

But there ain’t no great understanding 

So much more than ours

And there ain’t no magic answer 

written in the stars

We make plans to break plans

With struggle and strife

In the new nuclear age 

But even good change is a stressor 

And the whole world’s rife 

In people exploding with rage

But there ain’t no great understanding 

So much more than ours

And there ain’t no magic answer
