lyrics

Early in the morning there’s a knock on the door
I go downstairs to see the news on the floor,
It’s the president and his lovely whore,
They just crashed his car into the liquor store,

But I wanna know the truth
Was he tying up his shoes?
Did he lose his balance and break his hip
Or he got distracted while he kissed her lips?

You know what, forget that shit
Come here and take a sit,
Tell me how much you know about what’s going on,
With the world outside you know, it’s almost gone,

Right now you’re just a child
Your mind is sweet and mild
A glass of milk and a breakfast meal
Yeah, seems like a pretty good deal,

And when the sky comes falling down
You feel like you’re gonna drown,
There’s no more air for you to breathe,
Why don’t you open up your eyes?
Why don’t you open up your mind?
See~ time is running out//

You could pull the trigger or keep the bullet
Make the hole bigger and break the duet,
Make each other smile and hang in there a while
Break life apart and live in denial,
Yeah, You could be the victim waiting for a hero
You could be the bomb counting down to zero,
You could be the clerk working for his bread,
Or the young guy dying with a bullet to his head,
Married old guys looking to be single,
Pretty little Doras horning up to mingle
Waiting to be pleased by a him or her
That will change their lives and turn around their dreams

And when the sky comes falling down
And you seem like you are gonna drown,
There’s no more air for you to breathe,
Why don’t you open up your eyes?
Why don’t you open up your mind?
See~ time is running out//

When we come back to earth, music is what keeps us going, helps us to process what we experience and enjoy life to its fullest. Our mission here is simple, spread the light. ... more
