From the recording Hell Yes Ma'am Sessions
Written by Brandon and Paul in February 2020, Brandon was messing around on Mandolin and Paul Sanders slappin' on drums.....happened to be recording and captured all of the lyrics almost verbatim in that jam.
Lyrics
I woke up this morning
Couldn’t get out of bed
Paralyzed by their warnings
They say we're all gonna end up dead
Walked down to a restaurant
Tried to get a cup of Joe
Started thinking about my problems
And wondering where in the world I could go
What are we fighting for?
Finally made it to the office
Finally got that cup of Joe
Started thinking about our problems
And wondering where in the hell we could go
Wondering bout the news that day
Thinking bout the things I say
And I went on the roof as I twice have done before
And I looked down at my shoes
What are we fighting for?
When I walked outta work that evening
Called my Uber home
I was exposed to some of the coolest Ethiopian music that I never thought I’d hear
We tried to talk and we laughed
We laughed in English, we laughed in Swahili, we laughed in whatever language she said she spoke, and I gave that lady a hug
What are we fighting for?
