Days Are Longer

Over on the corner and leaning on the kid
He’s gonna get a beat for something that he did,
Drag him down the alley where the boy becomes a man,
When you’re on the front line do the best you can,
My days are long, my nights are longer,
My days are long, my nights are longer.
I don’t watch the news, read the papers anymore,
Too many men and women going off to fight the war,
One time, two time, three times, more,
Has anyone forgot what it is we’re fighting for,
My days are long, my nights are longer,
My days are long, my nights are longer,
Longer and longer, longer and longer,
longer and longer, longer and longer.
Empty houses on the street where people used to live,
Bankers holding papers on the loans they’ll never give,
People sleep in boxes underneath the street,
Hanging on a second already where you live,?
My days are long, my nights are longer,
My days are long, my nights are longer,
My days are long but my nights are longer,
Longer and longer, longer and longer,
longer and longer, longer and longer,
Longer and longer, longer and longer,
longer and longer, longer and longer.
