Chris Walla - The New Year lyrics

[Verse 1] So this is the new year And I don't feel any different The clanking of crystal Explosions off in the distance In the distance [Verse 2] So this is the new year And I have no resolutions For self a**igned penance For problems with easy solutions [Verse 3] So everybody put your best suit or dress on Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn As thirty dialogs bleed into one [Verse 4] I wish the world was flat like the old days Then I could travel by just folding a map No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways There'd be no distance that could hold us back There'd be no distance that could hold us back There'd be no distance that could hold us back So this is the new year (4x)
