This one is about how crappy my life is right now. It would be a slow pop song.
The Center Will Not Hold
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
the center will not hold
they keep moving the goals
if you’ve got someone to hold
hold on tight
we’re in for it now
maybe we should just be glad
the center will not hold
when you think got it straight
life throws you a curve
then you have to have the nerve
to get what you deserve
but there’s no way out now
’cause the center will not hold
I wish I could give you a kiss
maybe one last wish before a hiss
but when things are all said and done
I know where I’ll run, run, run
not where I should be safe because
the center will not hold
the center will not hold
the center will not hold
[bridge]
things used to be so much simpler
you know it’s true
we all had money coming in
we were poor we roared
the center will not hold
when you’re done with your hope
life’s finally give you enough rope
that’s when you have exclaim
that you’ve just got to sing
as you sing down below
to your fate
because the center, the center
will not hold
will not hold
will not hold
