Where have all the singers gone Gone to churches one by one The streets been quiet for so long Where has all the music gone The radio keeps everyone at home Slow dancing through the telephone And then we die and no one knows And theres just the sound of the radios While the counterfeits who hate our dreams Moan joyful tones through the tv screen But I cant belive what I have seen Now evrybody hums the same damn melody And the pushers know the junkies will come back If no one ever understands the trap And for those young without their mouths Echoes break the windows in an empty house And no one wants to hang around Not long ago I was just a babe When targets chased the armed parades They ran in rhythm with the notes that played And wed sing along with the falling rain But that aint how it feels today Cause the butchers with those electric bones Fired hearts like empty bombs explode Now everyones back on their own Dying fast I am not growing old Yes the lonely know the only way is down And not everybody comes back around Whose song has stopped for the voice of God Angels or fools call them what you want We all make do with what weve got You are hardwired for eternity Eyes roll back so the heart can sleep Conversations bite the ankles of infancy You and I are a stupid symphony Reborn and dying constantly Like the jukebox wind on the ocean blows Take this change and make the silence gold Its deafening out here on my own I suppose thats just the way it goes But the solitude proves everybody wrong Cause everybody sings a lonesome song
everybody, infancy, hardwired, dying, one
