Ballad about future possibilities if countries in power move toward woke (using gender and racial criteria to guide social decisions versus character and skill) and more governmental control with less people freedom.
Southern California song writer.
Story behind the song
Thinking about how China, Russia, and the U.S. have been moving toward more competition for military power while at the same time there is so many strange...illogical ideas arising in society.... about gender and sources of energy. So many governments get stronger and bolder while corrupt leaders take more and leave their people less.
Lyrics
Will it Be Over Yet? Doug Buche, 2023
First Verse:
What will our future be like when all those living now have gone?
What will the newborns find when we are gone from their minds?
Will the right have won or will they live with whats left by the wrong?
What will the world be like then, what will be found,
when the world's current leaders are all below ground?
Chorus:
Will it be over yet the Chinese-Soviet-US race of arms?
Will it be over yet what did the winner get?
Will we all be safe from harm?
What about the children? Their children?
Will their needs be met...or will they work on forced labor farms?
2ndVerse:
Will there be no fossil fuels only green energy fools coming along?
What will the new energy be? Where will they get their power?
When governments have grown will the people have more or less freedom? Or will they tax their people more...will they tax every crumb. Will they feed their robots first then give the people some?
Chorus:
Will it be over yet the Chinese-Soviet-US race of arms?
Will it be over yet what did the winner get?
Will we all be safe from harm?
What about our children? Their children?
Will their needs be met...or will they work on forced labor farms?
Bridge: Get in line children. Listen to me speak. Listen to your robot. Listen for its beat. Follow your robot, follow its metallic feet.
3rdVerse:
Will the physical reality match the identity of the human kind?
Will the favorites be chosen by the content of their hearts,
imaginary body parts or the color of their rind?
What will the world be like then, what will they find?
How can children survive in such a confusing time?
Chorus and Ending:
Will it be over yet the Chinese-Soviet-US race of arms?
Will it be over yet what did the winner get?
Will we all be safe from harm?
What about our children? Their children?
Will their needs be met...or will they work on forced labor farms?
