V1

Standing firm at the pulpit preachin’, Don’t realize what you’re really teachin’

In your suit and your long red tie.  We’re the ones that pay for your lies.

V2

Voices come from both sides of the aisle, further dividing mile after mile.

Can we sit down and find some common ground, and turn this calamity around?

CHORUS

Can we pull the curtain back, justify what we see?

Can’t be certain of nothing, Its a catastrophe.

Who’s pulling the strings that tug on our fear?

Need a central coast sunset to keep my mind clear.

V3

Don’t really care if it’s red or blue. Right or wrong, we know what to do.

Take a stroll through the rolling dunes. Strum some chords or share a new tune.

V4

Let the surf take away your ills.The shining sun and the foggy hills.

Just hike to the top of Madonna… step away from all of the drama.

CHORUS

Can we pull the curtain back, justify what we see?

Can’t be certain of nothing, Its a catastrophe.

Who’s pulling the strings that tug on our fear?

Need a central coast sunset to keep my mind clear.

V5

We breathe the same air, see the same sun. The damage can still be undone.

Can we sit down, listen and learn to hear? We may find the divide is not so severe.

V6

It’s alright if we all don’t agree. You be you and let me be me

Find a stranger and raise a glass… a new season will come to pass.

CHORUS

Can we pull the curtain back, justify what we see?

Can’t be certain of nothing, Its a catastrophe.

Who’s pulling the strings that tug on our fear?

Need a central coast sunset to keep my mind clear.
