Ballad - New Model Army[00:00:00]

When they look back at us[00:00:16]

And they write down their history[00:00:19]

What will they say about our generation[00:00:21]

We're the ones who knew[00:00:25]

Everything and still we did nothing[00:00:26]

Harvested everything planted nothing[00:00:29]

Well we live pretty well in the wake of the goldrush[00:00:40]

Floating in comfort on waves of our apathy[00:00:45]

Quietly gnawing away at her body[00:00:49]

Until we mortgage the future bury our children[00:00:53]

Storehouses full with the fruits we've been given[00:00:57]

We send off the scrag ends to suckle the starving[00:01:01]

But still we can't feed this strange hunger inside[00:01:05]

Greedy restless and unsatisfied[00:01:10]

I was never much one for the great big bang theory[00:01:51]

Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory[00:01:56]

Not foolish and brave these leaders of ours[00:02:00]

Just stupid and petty unworthy of power[00:02:04]

Just a little leak here and a small error there[00:02:07]

Another square mile poisoned forever[00:02:12]

A series of sad and pathetic little fizzles[00:02:16]

And out go the lights never to return[00:02:20]

The affair it is over the passion is dead[00:02:29]

She stares at us now with ice in her eyes[00:02:33]

But we turn away from these bitter reproaches[00:02:37]

And take up distractions to[00:02:42]

Forget what we're doing[00:02:43]

I stand on these hills and I watch her at night[00:03:08]

A thousands square miles a million orange lights[00:03:13]

Wounded and scarred she lies silent in pain[00:03:18]

Raped and betrayed in the cold acid rain[00:03:22]

And I wish and I wish and I wish and I wish[00:03:25]

We could start over again[00:03:31]

Yes I wish and I wish and I wish[00:03:34]

We could win her back love once again[00:03:42]
