Daylight comes in a stream
My bedroom window wakes me from a dream
Faces, leer on the screen
Opinions plentiful, what do they mean
(God rest ye merry gentlemen) Today in Jerusalem, violence flared
Opposing factions kill for their cause
(Let nothing ye dismay) 26 were injured, it appears no one cared
All of them claiming to follow God's laws
Here we go, go once again
Another technicolor spectacle of sin

Tomorrow's news seen today

On the air, we're live again
I sit and watch the latest bulletin
They call it news, but it's getting so old
The voices rise until the truth is lost in the din
Trinitron Positron, in my living room
I drink my coffee contemplating my doom
Turn it down, switch to radio
No place to run, and there's nowhere left that's safe to go

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, what can you do?
Just hit my knees and leave it up to You
Sometimes it hits me, hits like a runaway train
The winds of change come, they come, just like, like a hurricane
Nowhere left that's safe to go
