Is this the New Year or just another night?
|
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
|
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
|
|
Is this the finger or just another fist?
|
Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
|
A misdirection, most in all this desperation
|
|
Is this what they call freedom?
|
Is this what you call pain?
|
Is this what they call discontented fame?
|
|
It'll be a day like this one
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
|
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
|
From broken arms an' broken noses in the back
|
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
|
|
You're pushing till you're shoving
|
You bend until you break
|
Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay
|
|
It'll be a day like this one
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
|
There's nothing here worth saving,
|
Is no one here at all?
|
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
|
|
It'll be a day like this one
|
When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
|
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
|
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
|
|
It'll be a day like this one
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
When the world caves in
|
|
Is there nothing left now?
|
Nothing left to sing
|
Are there any left who hasn't kiss the enemy?
|
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
|
|
Does justice never find you? Do the wicked never lose?
|
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
|
|
And nothing is okay
|
Till the world caves in
|
Till the world caves in
|
Till the world caves in
|
Till the world caves in
|
Till the world caves in
|
Until the world caves in
|
Until the world caves in
|
Until the world caves in
|
Until the world caves in
|
Until the world caves in
|
Until the world caves in
|
