Is this the New Year or just another night Is this the new fear or just another fright Is this the new tear or just another desperation Is this the finger or just another fist Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss A misdirection most in all this desperation Is this what they call freedom Is this what you call pain Is this what they call discontented fame It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass From broken arms and broken noses in the back Is this the New Year or just another desperation You're pushing till you're shoving You bend until you break Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in There's nothing here worth saving Is no one here at all Is there any net left that could break our fall It'll be a day like this one When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found Are you discontented Have you been pushing hard Have you been through and down this broken house of cards It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in Is there nothing left now Nothing left to sing Are there any left to haven't kiss the enemy Is this the New Year or just another desperation Just as I could find you do the wicked never lose Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues And nothing is okay Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in Until the world caves in
