Seems we're in a tight spot It's too long since the war stopped And there's no time left to lend a hand And look who's at the wheel with Uncle Sam Dancing in the daylight Morning's such a bright night Same sky where children play Play their games half a world away Light filled the sky But I can't remember why Ring around the rosie Your pockets full of holes deep Lost it all while you sleep And there's even less for those out on the street It just doesn't seem right Standing in the twilight Waiting for the polls to close The shows run by the one nobody chose Light filled the sky But I can't remember why Night came to stay And it's always been this way Seems we're in a tight spot It's too long since the bomb dropped And there's no time left to lend a hand And look who's at the wheel with Uncle Sam The war hawks circle high above the lamb A wolf in sheep's clothing takes a stand Waiting for the polls to close The shows run by the one nobody chose There's no time left to lend a hand And look whose at the wheel with Uncle Sam Light filled the sky But I can't remember why Night came to stay And it's always been this way Light filled the sky Now there's no one left to cry Night came to stay And it's always been this way
