Paroles de Ballad
When they look back at us and they write down their historyWhat will they say about our generation?
We're the ones who knew everything still we did nothing
Harvested everything, planted nothing
Well we live pretty well in the wake of the goldrush
Floating in comfort on waves of our apathy
Quietly knawing away at Her body
Until we mortgage the future, bury our children
Storehouses full with the fruits we've been given
We send off the scragends to suckle the starving
But still we can't feed this strange hunger inside
Greedy, restless and unsatisfied
I was never much one for the great "big bang" theory
Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory
Not foolish and brave, these leaders of ours
Just stupid and petty, unworthy of power . .
Just a little leak here and a small error there
Another square mile poisoned forever
A series of sad and pathetic little fizzles
And out go the lights, never to return
The affair it is over, the passion is dead
She stares at us now with ice in Her eyes
But we turn away from these bitter reproaches
And take up distractions to forget what we're doing
Well I stand on these hills and I watch Her at night
A thousands square miles, a million orange lights Yes I wish and I wish
We could win back Her love once again
Until we mortgage the future, bury our children
Storehouses full with the fruits we've been given
We send off the scragends to suckle the starving
But still we can't feed this strange hunger inside
Greedy, restless and unsatisfied
I was never much one for the great "big bang" theory
Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory
Not foolish and brave, these leaders of ours
Just stupid and petty, unworthy of power . .
Just a little leak here and a small error there
Another square mile poisoned forever
A series of sad and pathetic little fizzles
And out go the lights, never to return
The affair it is over, the passion is dead
She stares at us now with ice in Her eyes
But we turn away from these bitter reproaches
And take up distractions to forget what we're doing
Well I stand on these hills and I watch Her at night
A thousands square miles, a million orange lights Yes I wish and I wish
We could win back Her love once again
