In a way, I need a change from this burnout scene
Another time, another town, another everything
But it's always back to you, yeah

The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan River, has bodies floatin'

[Chorus]
But you TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, MY FRIEND
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Please, Mother Mercy, take me from this place
And the long-winded curses I hear in my head
The words never listen, and teachers, oh, they never learn
But I'm warm from the candle, though I feel too cold to burn

Feeling the moment the slip away
Losing direction you're losing faith
You're wishing for someone
Feeling it all begin to slide
