Hans Vreedenburgh songs
I wrote this song about a year ago, but never posted it on Songramp. Now that the US citizens elected a new president, I thought it would be a good moment to do so.
I asked Donald Trump to do the lead vocals, but he passed due to a soar throat after all the interesting discussions he had with Hillary Clinton.
WHEN IT GETS TO THAT
Words & music: Hans Vreedenburgh
It’s hard to tell exactly where it all went wrong
Why this society’s on the verge of self destruction
If we plan to carry on like this
We may as well kiss ourselves goodbye
We never really meant to let it slip away
Although the writing on the wall is clearly visible
In capitals, in vain
Now we will take the fall
When it gets to that, I will hold you in my arms
I’ll pretend there is no end of time
Yeah when it gets to that I will keep you safe and warm
When it gets to that I’m right behind
It doesn’t matter who will take the blame
Cause we’re all guilty, so to speak
Politicians say it’s time to make a change
Today, perhaps next week, you’ll see
Until then we’ll reconsider what’s at stake
They say it can’t be all that bad
(Don’t you worry about a thing now)
But I just can’t believe the promises they make
We’re going down instead
When it gets to that, I will hold you in my arms
I’ll pretend there is no end of time
Yeah when it gets to that I will keep you safe and warm
When it gets to that I’m right behind
