Broken Clock

Covered in fingerprints thumbing the pages
looking for some escape
when all the bold letters just say the same thing
theres no way out of this
we never believed in you we never believed in you
just look what youve done
and how how could you go there
wearing your white clothes
cant you see what youve done
wheres the safety net now
wheres the damage control
we were promised a whole set of balances
you took the crooked and this land to adore
and you left us with one million eyes closed
Back at the homestead were fighting our instinct
to run run run run for the hills
with everyone leaning I think that its tipping
I just see over the edge
so when you fall out of this trance
theres no one to buy it back
from all that youve done
So go get the fuck out of this house
just hurry along now
cause theres work to be done
Wheres the saftey net now
wheres the damage control
we were promised a whole set of balances
you took the the crooked and this land to adore
and you left us with one million backs turned
wheres the saftey net now
wheres the light at the end
it was never enough to have everything
you took the crooked and this land to adore
and you left us with one million eyes closed
