Now, I’d like to spend more time with you
But sirens signal out it’s curfew
I’d like to talk about the future and all
But we’re staring out the window at a grey brick wall
Aint no use picking out stars
‘neath the chemical sky and the satellite wars
“Protest is futile”, scream it in their face
We’ve been at war since this human race
Another song
Another song
The same old song
About the world gone wrong
I’d like to talk easy, but the news’ stuck in my brain
Like a white noise screaming, makes me lose my aim
I’d believe the movies, ‘bout the bad men going down
But the bitter truth, baby, ‘t is the other way around
We can take our time, take our time to think
With a timebomb ‘a’ticking, ticking timebomb ‘a’ tick
Peace and love? Throw it in their face
One more time for the human race
Another song
Another song
The same old song
About the world gone wrong
