Lyrics sheet: https://mnsongwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/formidable/10/The-other-side-1-1.rtf

Lyrics:

There’s another world living on the other side
On the far right of the great divide
Our brothers and our sisters in another time
Are we ever going to get ‘em to cross that line

Can we still live together side by side
Some want to see the worlds collide
Does it need to be a game of all or none
Has the beginning of the end already begun

Most people just want to live their lives
Politics requires compromise
Just because we disagree
Does not make us the enemy

There’s foul wind blowing on the other side
From a would-be king propped up by lies
Who says he hates us and calls us scum
What kind of country have we become

While he attacks democracy
Silence from the GOP
He ignores the constitution
Uses power for retribution

There’s another world living on the other side

Comments by composer(s):

I watched Neil Young's set at Farm Aid and was inspired to write a political song in his style.
