There ain't no reason things are this way
'S how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
Preachers on the podiums speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death
Every little heart beat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.
There ain't no reason things are this way
'S how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway.
Keep on building bombs
Gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung is filled with coal, suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I'm not fooled
You don't need no reason or a 3 piece suit
To argue the truth
The air in my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow
There ain't no reasons things are this way
'S how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way;
We do it everyday.

This is a beautiful vid and is definitely one of the most emotional I've seen from you. I loved the coloring, it gave the whole thing a kind of grungy feel that complimented the music very nicely. There's some really nice work with cross-dissolves too, like at 2:15. The song choice is inspired; I almost thought it was written for Razor. Fantastic work as always, I'm crossing my fingers that you'll be bitten by the BSG vidding bug again. :)

Thanks for commenting. I've been trying to connect more with the subjects of my vid to get more emotion across.

I added a texture layer over the vid to give it that grunge look.

I don't use crossfades often, so ii was an experiment that hopefully helped me learn.

When listening to the song I can't believe it wasn't written for Razor.

I'm crossing my fingers that you'll be bitten by the BSG vidding bug again. :)
I have 5 ideas right now, but I think I'll be waiting for the final season to end before starting on them. :)
