lyrics -
Ok, listen up
There’s only so much time
But hey - it’s gonna be all right
I’ve been reading a lot of Ursula Le Guin
And thinking about suffering
And how it brings us together when love only tears us apart
Pain is stronger than love
Despite those Hollywood cliches
And what other people say
And I guess that’s why we get stereotyped as bleeding hearts
But the light don’t mean all that much to those who don’t know dark
And you came here with nothing
And you have nothing to lose but chains
And it feels like you’ve been waiting your whole life
And though the whole world is crashing
And you can’t make ends meet
You know that it don’t matter all that much
‘Cos you can always call on your friends and we
We can bitch about everything
We can put the world to rights
We could bring down the government
We could put their heads on spikes
It’s hands touch
I touch the wholeness
I hold it
You pack your things into little boxes
And put them to one side
You know everything you’ve ever loved
Will one day be lost to time
And that sinking feeling
Oh, that sinking feeling
So put on your best dress
And go out tonight
Everything’s a mess but you don’t mind
And all you have is what you are
And what you give
It’s hand’s touch
I’m talking to you
And you know it’s gonna be all right
I’m talking to you
Yeah, you know it’s gonna be all right
