Who's gonna do something about anything? Who's gonna do something about anything? We're comfortable in our selves Safe on the other side of the screen The air is conditioned We take our positions And watch the unraveling scene We've got to get out of our seats We might have to take to the streets Put ourselves on the line 'Cause who's gonna do something about anything? Who's gonna do something about anything? You've got everything to gain. You've got everything to loose. But if you don't make a choice You'll have nothing to choose So who's gonna do something about anything? Some are born to lead Take giant steps in the sand Most of us follow Piggy-back on tomorrow Stumbling ahead with no plan We've got to wake up from this sleep We've got to stop living like sheep When the lion's at hand 'Cause who's gonna do something about anything? Who's gonna do something about anything? You've got everything to gain. We've got everything to loose. But if you don't make a choice You'll have nothing to choose So who's gonna do something about anything? Our leaders are cheating and lying People are dying They're flying too close to the sun Something must be done Well, isn't there anything that will make you do something? Is there anything? Well, isn't there anything that can make you do something? How 'bout anything? Well, when are you gonna get off your ass and do something? How 'bout anything? Yeah, isn't there anything that can make you do something? Isn't there anything? People are dying. People are dying. You've got to do something. You've got to do something. Anything.

about

"Something About Anything" is a song written by my friend Michael Wegner. We've played together in a few projects and guested on each other's recordings over the years.

He wrote "Something About Anything" no later than 2019, because we played it an acoustic show in October of that year. With all that's going on in the world, I kept nudging him to get the song finished up and released since it's so topical and, eventually, he encouraged me to get on it and do my own version.

Michael does appear on the recording as he plays acoustic guitar, piano, and organ. Everything else you hear on the track is me.

Here are the lyrics.

Who's gonna do something about anything?
Who's gonna do something about anything?

We're comfortable in our selves
Safe on the other side of the screen
The air is conditioned
We take our positions
And watch the unraveling scene

We've got to get out of our seats
We might have to take to the streets
Put ourselves on the line

'Cause who's gonna do something about anything?
Who's gonna do something about anything?
You've got everything to gain.
You've got everything to loose.
But if you don't make a choice
You'll have nothing to choose
So who's gonna do something about anything?

Some are born to lead
Take giant steps in the sand
Most of us follow
Piggy-back on tomorrow
Stumbling ahead with no plan

We've got to wake up from this sleep
We've got to stop living like sheep
When the lion's at hand

'Cause who's gonna do something about anything?
Who's gonna do something about anything?
You've got everything to gain.
We've got everything to loose.
But if you don't make a choice
You'll have nothing to choose
So who's gonna do something about anything?

Our leaders are cheating and lying
People are dying
They're flying too close to the sun
Something must be done

Well, isn't there anything that will make you do something?
Is there anything?
Well, isn't there anything that can make you do something?
How 'bout anything?
Well, when are you gonna get off your ass and do something?
How 'bout anything?
Yeah, isn't there anything that can make you do something?
Isn't there anything?

People are dying.
People are dying.
You've got to do something.
You've got to do something.
Anything.
