There Must Be More Than This
Beneath a bloodshot sky
It's easier to lie
Than fumble for the truth
As life goes flashing by
We're in the belly of the whale
And we've got no time to fail
Let's sing a song with hooks
Just like rusty old nails
We sing:
Long ago
In times before airplanes
Life was so simple
But it isn't true you know
And this was tomorrow
When that was today
And if you get that confused
It just kind of, sort of, gets in the way
So many ways to kill a man
Still most just die of boredom
Sell off any high ideal
When reamed by petty whoredom
And souls like dead ends
Who come on like your friends
To leave your black heart bleeding
Where the sun dies around the bend
I've got no time to reminisce
My memories a poison kiss
Let's sing a song of life gone wrong
Called "There Must Be More Than This"
We sing
Long ago
We lived in the hillside
To fight for food
Happy just to be alive
And the same winds are howling
The earth shakes and cracks
And time's still going nowhere
And never coming back
