Why oh why could I never toe the line / let’s change the way we’re living every day / when we’re all dolled up it’s just water in the tub / going down the drain anyway
This could be the drying of the stream / a perfect first vision of the lord / if the colors scream “hey I’m not what I seem / even religions can’t be saved
Where oh where has all the dreamin’ gone / its left this place for good / never to return / when we’re all fed up with the bruises in the cut / we’ll be praying for the end everyday
When will we believe in what we see / the storm has gotten stronger everyday / when the banks give up and technology ‘s a bust / no zeroes and ones can save the day
Why oh why does this sleeping giant lie / the past was always promised but that end did not occur / if the bullet is love then I’d shoot it like a gun / while all of the coffins fill their graves
