Things are getting dangerous

Things are getting Dangerous
Chorus
Things are getting dangerous;
Life is getting strange.
It makes one pause to wonder
if we’ve lost our way.
The innocent are victims
caught up in the tide.
This whole damn worlds gone crazy
and no one’s certain why.
Verse
Let’s blame it on religion
Or societal breakdown
But it’s fairly obvious
there’s more crazy going round.
The sick are getting sicker.
Its clear evil’s on the rise.
When they show them on the news
You can see it in their eyes.
Chorus
Things are getting dangerous;
Life is getting strange.
It makes one pause to wonder
if we’ve lost our way.
The innocent are victims
caught up in the tide.
This whole damn worlds gone crazy
and no one’s certain why.
Verse
There’s injustice in justice;
There are debts that can’t be paid.
When you can’t trust your neighbors
And you live your life afraid.
The crimes are getting crueler
Is there nothing we can do?
It’s a pandemic virus
And it’s closing in on you.
Bridge
Lately I’ve been thinking
That the whole worlds come unglued
And it makes me pause and wonder
What’s it coming to?
Yes it makes me pause and wonder
if I can trust you too.

What you have as the chorus makes a wonderful opening verse, but I feel like it should lead to something else in the chorus. More of a why, or what do we do about it?

I would probably switch "It makes one wonder" to "It makes me wonder" but depends what you're going for there.

Not sure I agree with the lyric, but it's well written!

Take a look at the news, any news and you'll see, every line's a fact.

Well written Carroll.
