The blues

Is this the new year or just another night
Is this the new fear or just another fright
Is this a new tear or just another desperation

Is this the finger or just another fist
Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss
I miss direction most in all this desperation

Is this what they call freedom
Is this what you call pain
Is this what they call discontented fame

It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the new year or just another desperation

You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves inWhen the world caves in
When the world caves in

When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is nothing here worth saving
Is there no one here at all
Is there any net left that could break our fall
It'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found

Are you discontented
Have you been pushing hard
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is there nothing left now
Nothing left to sing
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy
Is the new year or just another desperation

Does justice ever find you
Do the wicked never lose
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues
And nothing is okay until the world caves in
Until the world caves in

Caroline.
