Take it back
Take back the land
Stolen from you
I guess some of you already did
We break the streets
We break the stars
That sear and scar
And pocket everything that remains
The houses scream
At ancient trees
Calling to me
And angels greet us in a new day
Take it back
Take back the land
Stolen from you
I guess some of you already did
We sting the air
As we go where
The dogs prepare
Their voices catch fire as they pray
No need to dream
A guillotine
So brightly gleams
And angels greet us in a new day
Take it back
Take back the land
Stolen from you
I guess some of you already did

Where do you see yourself in five years?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
Optimism
Enthusiasm
Paperwork
Left hand
Right hand
Paperwork
Where do you see yourself in five years?
The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing
The left hand dooooooooeeeessssn’t……………
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Where do you see yourself in five years time?

Say the right thing, do the right thing
And it might seem hard
But it’s not so hard
Just say the right thing
You’ll find it in your heart
And it might seem far
But it’s not so far
Just do the right thing
And you play your part
Say the right thing, do the right thing

Lawn

Imagine having a garden
Imagine having a lawn
The geological shaping of rocks over centuries
The process of being born
I live with you in the city
I live with you wall to wall
Imagine desire is moving us forward
Imagine having a lawn

The Living Situation
02:42
|

Where I’m living
The house is black
As the shadow
Of a vampire bat
Fooling no one
With the lazy talk
Laid across it
Taking up my bed and walk
Walk around
Walk around me
Walk around my dying bed
Jumping on my back
Medicate and
Taking up the slack
Graves go dancing
Out among the trees
Ranged against us
Fallen to our knees and walk
Walk around
Walk around me
Walk around my dying bed
Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away

You Have To Struggle
02:15
|

Look here come the bailiffs
To take what I don’t have
But the last ones will be first and some day
The first ones will be last
You have to struggle
To get it done
You have to walk through the fire sometimes
To make a change
Here come those old demons
They tried to hold me down
But I turned those demons on their heads
And this is what I found
You have to struggle
To get it done
You have to walk through the fire sometimes
To make a change
Here comes that Grim Reaper
To take me for a ride
But before I make the final journey
To the other side
You have to struggle
To get it done
You have to walk through the fire sometimes
To make a change

Self Help
02:41
|

I’ve read the same self-help books as you
Still we’re running round and round
We cut each other through and through
When I hurt you baby don’t you know I hurt myself?
Recommend a self-help book to me
I’ve gotta get back to health
I want to do better I want to get well
Self help self help self help self help….
Seems what I said is not what you heard
Soon I’ll need an interpreter
To understand my own words
If you need a mirror to better see yourself
We can share all our problems
And get ourselves back to health
I want to do better I want to get well
Tell me your problems I’ll tell you my problems
Tell me in the morning, in the evening
Any time of day you can tell me
I want to do better I want to get well

Couples working out all their problems
Stomach staple, sunglasses case
“We’re having a get together, you should come by”
All the singers they reference are now dead
Nothing has changed since 1979
Nothing has changed since 1995
They go on a long journey to find themselves
Driving on out to his ex-wife’s place
They have a big house but can’t pay the bills
Things look bleak, but then they’re resolved
Nothing has changed since 1979
Nothing has changed since 1995
Things look bleak, but then they’re resolved
Funeral scene, an electro-acoustic band
No money troubles, a future for the kids
Learning and changing, learning to change
Nothing has changed since 1979 1995 2055
Nothing has changed since 1979

When oh when will the Kingdom come?
When the light is fire on the land
When the mountains, puzzled, move away
When the leaves decline to fall from the trees
When the angels come and take what is there's
And all that is hidden will be revealed
The living will not die
For we come from the light
We are its children
We are its children
When oh when will the new world come?
It is here
It was always here
Go outside to the street
The rich will not enter the places of my father
But the poor are off to Heaven
The poor are off to Heaven
Go outside to the street
Be near me
Be near the fire
The angels will come
Give you what you already have
Leave you standing in one piece
Standing in one piece
Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away
