"Man Made Weather (Work Tape)" lyrics

Somewhere I lost the illusion
We were headed out west
We could find a redemption
Just by doing our best
Forty years in the rearview
Five years with the kid
Done a lot of bad things
I haven't seen it like this

And there's a boy in the backseat asking
When is this gon' quit?
Why did God make sin
And why does hate exist?

I know we can be better
Gotta find some way to get better
There's a cloud hanging over our kids
And it's man-made, man-made weather
I know we can be better
Gotta find some way to get better
There's a cloud hanging over our kids
And it's man-made, man-made weather

We were playing in the driveway
Everything felt right
But it was but it was momentary laughter
Yeah, the temporary kind

We're getting used to the cycle
We're getting used to the crimes
It's not a foregone conclusion
That we are gonna be fine

I know we can be better
Gotta find some way to get better
There's a cloud hanging over our kids
And it's man-made, man-made weather
I know we can be better
Gotta find some way to get better
There's a cloud hanging over our kids
And it's man-made, man-made weather

I know we can be better
Gotta find some way to get better
There's a cloud hanging over our kids
And it's man-made, man-made weather
I know we can be better
Gotta find some way to get better
There's a cloud hanging over our kids
And it's man-made, man-made weather

Yeah, it's man-made weather
