Down by Law - At Home In The Wasteland lyrics

you're looking around

trying not to notice

that things are really falling down

everywhere we go

we see the signs there

and I don't see it coming round

will I ever know

a brighter future staying here

will I ever know

all of the promises from years ago

but as we grew we know

they're far from here

will we ever know

a brighter future

or see a 1,000 points of light

just all the talking of politicians

who never seem to get it right

will I ever know

a brighter future staying here

will I ever know

all of the promises from years ago

but as we grew we knew

it's far from here

far from here . . .

sometimes I get so wound up

I want to take my mind

I want to get away

but everywhere I look

I know it's the same as yesterday

will we ever know

a brighter future?
