Альбом Hope Of The States

The money’s running out
The casino’s burning down
The police are getting nervous
The transmission’s shot
And the schools are all locked
The offices have shut up shop
It’s quiet on the streets today
I think I know what’s going on
But I’m too scared to say
In case I got it wrong
And made a bad mistake

Emergency, emergency
Someone acted honestly
We better string them up, tie them down
Never let the news get out
Never let it happen again

Emergency, emergency
Someone meant every word they said
We should beat them up, lock them up
Throw away the key and
Never let it happen again

There’s a flood coming in
And the snow is coming down
There’s fighting on every corner
The troubled little kids
That were bullied at school
This is the only chance you’re getting
To stand up for the put upon
The worried and the anxious
Don’t be too scared to say
That they got it all wrong
And made a bad mistake

Emergency, emergency
Someone acted honestly
We better string them up, tie them down
Never let the news get out
Never let it happen again

Emergency, emergency
Someone meant every word they said
We should beat them up, lock them up
Throw away the key and
Never let it happen again

Tell me, won’t you tell me
How we ended up so cynical?
We should give it up, start again
Admit mistakes and try to change
Never let it happen again

Tell me what’s wrong with meaning every single thing you do

The signs above my head are clear to all
An underachiever but a true believer
Who never had a hope in hell
I am the soldier I am the soldier
Who fought a war for nothing
I am the damage that a dream does
I am the damage that a dream does

Sing it out, sing it out
You’re not alone
You are not, you are not the only one
You were lost and now you’re found
Sing it out, sing it out

Sing it out, sing it out
You’re not alone
You are not, you are not the only one
You were lost and now you’re found
Sing it out, sing it out

If I sing a song for economics
The numbers never add up
I am debt, I am loss, I am written off
again and again and again and again
So I walk this line alone
I endure cos I’ve always known
The only way things will ever change is if I try
and I’m right and I’m right and I’m right

Sing it out, sing it out
You’re not alone
You are not, you are not the only one
You were lost and now you’re found
Sing it out, sing it out

Sing it out, sing it out
You’re not alone
You are not, you are not the only one
You were lost and now you’re found
Sing it out, sing it out

Sing it out, sing it out
You’re not alone
You are not, you are not the only one
You were lost and now you’re found
Sing it out, sing it out

Sing it out, sing it out
You’re not alone
You are not, you are not the only one
You were lost and now you’re found
Sing it out, sing it out

It’s speeding up around me
but my heart is slowing down until it stops
This train is off the rails
The devil’s in the details
No one notices
There’s bonfires in my head
There’s criminals in my chest
No one notices
I’m desperate and I’m lonely
The hospital is empty
No one notices

It’s not enough to say I’m sorry
For all the pain and the worry
What are you waiting for?
Give up on me and leave
It’s not enough to say I’m sorry
For all the pain and the worry
What are you waiting for?
Give up on me and leave

So I saw the houses empty
and the people gathered round And spat at me
You’re the family we hated
not the only one who’s waiting for the end
There’s bonfires in my head
There’s criminals in my chest
No one notices
And I’ll lead them off the edge
I’ll drown them in the dead sea
Now they’re noticing

It’s not enough to say I’m sorry
For all the pain and the worry
What are you waiting for?
Give up on me and leave
It’s not enough to say I’m sorry
For all the pain and the worry
What are you waiting for?
Give up on me and leave

It’s not enough to say I’m sorry

It’s not enough to say I’m sorry
For all the pain and all of the worry
What are you waiting for?
Give up on me and leave

Can we dance in the rain
And fill the streets with parades
No one’s left behind
We all wait in line
Defiant I shall be today
But I won’t forget how much we paid

And despite it all we’re doing alright
Our friends by our side
We fight a good fight
And all of the pain and all of the strife means nothing to us
We fight a good fight

The voices from above
Said “you’re alright to carry on”
So we thanked the Lord
For the second chance we got to try again

And despite it all we’re doing alright
Our friends by our side
We fight a good fight
And all of the pain and all of the strife means nothing to us
We fight a good fight

We’ll win in another life
I know we will
Tomorrow is another chance
To make the next day better

We’ll win in another life
I know we will
Tomorrow is another chance
To make the next day better

We’ll win in another life
I know we will

An argument, an ambulance
The sound of sirens in my head just like you’re singing to me
I don’t think this is how it goes
They tried their best but made you wrong
You run away but never know what you’re running from
You know it wasn’t meant to go like this

What you want you’re never gonna get
Unless you are prepared to be alone
If you think you’ve got to have it all
You’ve got to be prepared to give it up

You bought a house, you made a home
You had some kids and got convinced you were doing well
Who said that was the only way to go?
So look at your friends, look at us all
And see how dumb we’ve become when we grow up
I’m so proud of everyone

What you want you’re never gonna get
Unless you are prepared to be alone
If you think you’ve got to have it all
You’ve got to be prepared to give it up

What you want you’re never gonna get
Unless you are prepared to be alone
If you think you’ve got to have it all
You’ve got to be prepared to give it up

This is a plague on all our homes
The gutter and the prisons we will go
You’re rigging all the fights and siding with the cheats
You’re picking up your winnings late next week

The television spits and the wives are crying
The adverts tell the truth when the father’s lying
Why won’t someone tell me why my government doesn’t hear all the warnings

No one will gamble and no one will fuck
Cos the loyalty’s lost and the drinkers are drunk
The factory cheats and the industry lies
Your daddy ain’t got a job in the morning

The criminals wave and the officers smile
They’re killing all the angels who picked a fight
The fences are high and the battle is lost
The money is saved whatever the cost

The television spits and the wives are crying
The adverts tell the truth when the father’s lying
Why won’t someone tell me why my government doesn’t hear all the warnings

No one will gamble and no one will fuck
Cos the loyalty’s lost and the drinkers are drunk
The factory cheats and the industry lies
Your daddy ain’t got a job in the morning

No one will gamble and no one will fuck
Cos the loyalty’s lost and the drinkers are drunk
The factory cheats and the industry lies
Your daddy ain’t got a job in the morning

Everyone gambles and everyone fucks
Over everyone else til the reason is lost
Everyone’s stabbing their friends in the back
My daddy ain’t got a job in the morning

Stop, Look, Listen
This is a question
Why won’t you answer?
Why won’t you just give us an answer?
Why won’t you just give us an answer?

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

It’s time to listen
This is a problem
What’s wrong with asking?
Why won’t you just give us an answer?
Why won’t you just give us an answer?

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

If you sing a couple of words the world moves
It changes because you do
It changes cos we needed it to
You needed it too

All the people stuck behind deadbolts and steel plate
You’re shut off from the noise outside
You couldn’t leave if you tried
Because it’s pointless, it’s worthless to deny that you are scared
All the fences all the walls we build will never ever fall

I am in love with the chance that we all could do better than we do
The lonely and broken, all the people forgotten
Let nobody tell you that your heart was wrong

Send me little silver birds to keep the promise that you made
One hundred thousand tiny lights for all of us who feel the same
And all the fences and all the walls we build will one day maybe fall

I am in love with the chance that we all could do better than we do
The lonely and broken, all the people forgotten
Let nobody tell you that your heart was wrong

I am in love with the chance that we all could do better than we do
The lonely and broken, all the people forgotten
Let nobody tell you that your heart was wrong
Cos even if nothing ever turns into something
Always believe that your heart was right
