a lyric in search of a melody. verses from Tim and NC Weil (storytellers)

LET'S GET BACK TO HECK
----------------------

I know your mother taught you
How to be polite -
Stop using hurtful language
Tryin' to pick a fight

Turn off the television
Turn off that CNN
That NPR and Fox News -
Let's be American

Civility is out the door,
The country is a wreck
I'm tired of living in this Hell -
Let's go back to Heck!

What the hey, start today,
Moderate the words you say
Put your temper back on ice -
What's so bad 'bout bein' nice?

Disagreement shouldn't mean much
Losing all respect
Why magnify the size of Hell?
Let's all get back to Heck.

None of us are better off
bein' polarized -
If we must practice kindness
We might be surprised.

Hatred helps nobody -
Let's stop and reconnect -
Let's turn around and leave this Hell
And all get back to Heck.

segue to music ...
