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.

Wow, you really captured the Pegasus and Kendra’s POV. Certain lines just hit for me. I really like at around minute 1:20 the way the lyrics are cut with “It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pin,” and at minute 1:52 with the line “suffocating slow.” If that line’s not Kendra, I don’t know what is. Everyone has said it but this song, this song! They say song choice is everything and they’re right, just this one line got me on my 3rd viewing, “Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes.” That’s the Pegasus too. Excellent, excellent choice.

I want to say the vid made me happy, but no. It rightly captured the despair, hopeless determination of one Kendra Shaw. Like the above commenter, I hope you keep vidding for BSG.

Thank you.

Those are the exact lines that I love the most. There's something about them in the song that sttod out for me and really felt perfect. :)
