A baby boomer's lullaby Came floating through my screen On Channel 9, I wouldn't be tuned in If I went back home in Bendigo
My uncle Pete, he's complaining about the greenies He says that they gone too far I say Pete they don't grow far enough
I'm back in Melbourne, I'm not doing the best I can On bad days I'm a parasite On my good days, I say at least I tried
I'm getting asthma as I run for the train Is it genetic from my family Or is it just harder to breathe these days
And it might be hopeless but if I lose hope I bring on that еnding And it might be hopeless but if I losе hope I bring on that ending And it might be hopeless but if I lose hope I bring on that ending And it might be hopeless but if I lose hope I bring on that ending (Instrumental Break)
I got myself so tangled that I can't say a word But I'm screaming in My head short circuits every thought runs out Before it can Go anywhere, drive away And let a dusty horizon Break me from this cycle of inertia I'm so furious at my trembling, idle hands
I'm ashamed of my own blood, of my breath And I fear every step that I take on The world keeps turning and it don't Give a damn about thoughts that I don't say
A loud noise is building, it's a dissonant Chaos of words but it's better than Silence is drowning, tell me which way's The surface and I'll swim for my life
And if I can't hope, nothing's ever gonna change So let your eyes roll, you'll still be cool When we're in flames
I could stockpile in the basement, be a ruthless Survivor itching to prove that violence is our Nature and society was fleeting and futile Take the satisfaction when my cynical Conclusions come to fruition Will I win then, when everyone is as selfish And careless as me? And if I can't hope, nothing's ever gonna change So let your eyes roll, you'll still be cool When we're in flames
And if I can't hope, nothing's ever gonna change So let your eyes roll, you'll still be cool When we're in flames
And it might be hopeless but I've gotta try it It's better than lying down and bringing on Our fate
And it might be hopeless but I've gotta try it It's better than lying down and bringing on Our fateTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
