MxPx - 1 AND 3 (Between This World and the Next)

Details

Description

I kind of wish we were releasing this song for the first time right now because it still rings true today.

You already know our world has a lot of problems, and I try not to dwell. But I’m a writer, so it’s kinda my job to dwell. So anyway, 1&3 is talking about the disparity between developed nations and those struggling. For many, that divide can be happening simultaneously in the same city right here in America or anywhere.

Now, I don’t have the solution except for empathy, love, and compassion. So talk about whatever is on your mind, and remember to keep learning, growing, and caring for fellow humans.

Lyrics:
1 and 3, what happened to the 2?
What about the lies they're telling you?
The first is filled with opulence and luxury.
The third is full of starvation and poverty.
Think about the values of the new world order.
A microcosm with commercials crossing borders.
Yeah.
The 1st and 3rd, I'm growing tired of the,
The 1st and 3rd, don't know how much longer I can,
Take the stress, like chasing spirits in the dark.
3 and 1 there's so much we've been through.
Broken promises will have to do.
There's so much in between the right and wrong.
It's time we looked around at what's been going on.
Think about the values of the new world order.
A microcosm with commercials crossing borders.
Yeah.
The 1st and 3rd, I'm growing tired of the,
The 1st and 3rd, don't know how much longer I can,
Take the stress, like chasing spirits in the dark.
We're possessed, obsessed.
In turn we're more depressed.
We're doomed, consumed.
We gotta get that monkey off our backs.
Affluenza, affluenza.
Think about the values of the new world order.
A microcosm with commercials crossing borders.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The 1st and 3rd, I'm growing tired of the,
The 1st and 3rd, don't know how much longer I can,
Take the stress, like chasing spirits in the dark.
Like chasing spirits in the dark.
Yeah, yeah.
