no avalon
|
|
I'm just a white girl
|
From a small, safe town
|
What could I possibly know about destruction?
|
My lawn sure looks green today
|
Underneath these suburban skies
|
|
But the little boy next door
|
Wants to be the Lord of the Flies
|
|
It's like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice
|
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
|
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
|
It's hard to conceive why we let our brothers die
|
|
My bed is so safe here
|
And my rose-colored glasses, they're broken
|
And how the truth leaks in
|
And I, I can't imagine
|
I saw it on the news tonight
|
That they'd announce his name
|
I saw the blood on his hands
|
And they told me to look away
|
|
I tell ya it's like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice
|
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
|
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
|
It's hard to conceive why we let our sisters die
|
|
Why, why?
|
Why?
|
It's a confusing civilization, darling
|
|
I tell ya It's like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice
|
|
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
|
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
|
It's hard to conceive why we let our people die
|
We let 'em die
|
And watch them die
|
