I have seen the streets and alleyways
|
Of a million faceless towns
|
The camera comes, the camera goes
|
Filming our blues for the late night news
|
We gather round
|
Never searching for our innocence
|
Our faith, our truth, our love
|
They're only there when things go wrong
|
Filming our blues for the late night news
|
We gather round
|
|
Show us peace and understanding
|
Brother love for fellow man
|
Cure us, we are sick from violence
|
In your sideshow of life
|
|
Impartiality is like
|
A coin they have to spend
|
The currency of the chosen few
|
They place their bets
|
Switch on your sets
|
|
There's world disasters by the minute
|
They tell us on the hour
|
And when we think we've paid our dues
|
They've filmed our blues for the late night news
|
We gather round
|
|
Show us peace and understanding
|
Brother love for fellow man
|
Cure us, we are sick from violence
|
In your sideshow of life
|
|
Sideshow of life
|
|
When it's late at night and you're all alone
|
With the one you love
|
Turn on the late night news and cry
|
Tears for all the lost and lonely people
|
Innocents in prime time
|
|
(Tragedies) of our life
|
(Tragedies) of our life
|
(Tragedies) of our life
