The Jayhawks - Homecoming Lyrics




YEAH, THE ROOM IS CLOSING IN
THE AIR IS GETTING THICKER
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BREATHE

ALL THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL
YET WE REFUSE TO READ IT
HEADS BURIED IN THE SAND

WE'VE GONE DOWN A ROAD
TO PLACES UNCHARTED
IT'S OUR LITTLE WORLD
IT'S TIME TO GET STARTED
SHORT-SIGHTED MEN
WITH EYES ON THEIR POCKETS
THE NEXT GENERATION IS WATCHING THE CLOCK WIND DOWN, DOWN DOWN
(ALL COMING DOWN)

AS THE SLAUGHTERHOUSES HUM
STOCKHOLDERS COUNT THEIR PROFITS
WHILE BLOCKING OUT THE SUN

ALL THE OCEANS BROWN WITH FOAM
THE POLAR ICE IS MELTING
WATCH FORESTS AS THEY FALL

THERE'S NO ONE ELSE
COMING TO SAVE US
WHY ARE THE CHILDREN
ALWAYS THE BRAVEST
STEALING THEIR DREAMS
ONE DAY AT A TIME
A FUTURE BETRAYAL
DENYING THE SCIENCE
(ALL COMING DOWN)

EVERY STREET IS CHOKED WITH CARS
POOR MOTHER EARTH IS RAVAGED
AND DISAPPEARING STARS

LEFT TO OURSELVES
AND OUR OWN DEVICES
WHO CAN WE TRUST
TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES
MAINTAIN STATUS QUO
THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE
WE LEAVE BEHIND A DEAD DYING PLANET
(ALL COMING DOWN)
