Ballad - New Model Army |
| [00:16.81] |
When they look back at us |
| [00:19.22] |
And they write down their history |
| [00:21.50] |
What will they say about our generation |
| [00:25.08] |
We're the ones who knew |
| [00:26.29] |
Everything and still we did nothing |
| [00:29.32] |
Harvested everything planted nothing |
| [00:40.99] |
Well we live pretty well in the wake of the goldrush |
| [00:45.50] |
Floating in comfort on waves of our apathy |
| [00:49.69] |
Quietly gnawing away at her body |
| [00:53.35] |
Until we mortgage the future bury our children |
| [00:57.79] |
Storehouses full with the fruits we've been given |
| [01:01.89] |
We send off the scrag ends to suckle the starving |
| [01:05.83] |
But still we can't feed this strange hunger inside |
| [01:10.65] |
Greedy restless and unsatisfied |
| [01:51.67] |
I was never much one for the great big bang theory |
| [01:56.09] |
Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory |
| [02:00.12] |
Not foolish and brave these leaders of ours |
| [02:04.17] |
Just stupid and petty unworthy of power |
| [02:07.95] |
Just a little leak here and a small error there |
| [02:12.60] |
Another square mile poisoned forever |
| [02:16.44] |
A series of sad and pathetic little fizzles |
| [02:20.67] |
And out go the lights never to return |
| [02:29.15] |
The affair it is over the passion is dead |
| [02:33.34] |
She stares at us now with ice in her eyes |
| [02:37.63] |
But we turn away from these bitter reproaches |
| [02:42.08] |
And take up distractions to |
| [02:43.71] |
Forget what we're doing |
| [03:08.80] |
I stand on these hills and I watch her at night |
| [03:13.61] |
A thousands square miles a million orange lights |
| [03:18.02] |
Wounded and scarred she lies silent in pain |
| [03:22.23] |
Raped and betrayed in the cold acid rain |
| [03:25.80] |
And I wish and I wish and I wish and I wish |
| [03:31.56] |
We could start over again |
| [03:34.06] |
Yes I wish and I wish and I wish |
| [03:42.13] |
We could win her back love once again |
