Sheryl Crow – Story Of Everything lyrics

[Intro: Chuck D]
Sing
The story of everything
Living, dying, lying, denial
Sing
The story of everything
Sing

[Verse 1: Sheryl Crow]
Here's a story for you that will make your head spin 'round
Some troubled soul walks into church and guns everyone down
What did that congregation do, they forgave that boy somehow
Our do-nothing congress, they never make mistakes
'Cause they don't show up to work except to give themselves a raise
The audacity of hope makes every bigot shake, yeah

[Chorus]
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along

[Verse 2: Sheryl Crow & Andra Day]
On Main St. USA, everybody's closing shop
'Cause them that's got get richer, it's the have and the have-nots
My cousin stays on welfare 'cause it pays more than a job
Now every time they talk about the way it used to be
You keep on living in the past, don't do a damn thing for me
Don't tell me how it was, I tell you how it needs to be
Oh, yes I will

[Chorus]
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along

[Verse 3: Chuck D]
Living, dying, lying, denial
Just hold them hands up, don't ya'll dare stop trying
Stompin' those feet and gasoline on these [?]
Save those babies [?] go crazy
Brees like the Saint [?]
Cursing worse than the new blues, non-stuttering
What the O-M-G [?]
Views of rating, news of hating, things get far gone if ya'll waiting

[Verse 4]
My mama held me in her arms, the same as I hold mine
I say my prayers and tell my babies everything is fine
Sometimes I break down, these are surely troubled times
Oh, yes they are

[Chorus]
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along

[Chorus]
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try

[Outro: Chuck D]
Views of rating, news of hating
Views of rating, news of hating
Views of rating, news of hating
Things get far gone if ya'll waiting
Views of rating, news of hating
Things get too far gone if ya'll waiting
