Sleater-kinney - Far Away lyrics

7:30am

Nurse the baby on the couch

Then the phone rings

"Turn on the TV"

Watch the world explode in flames

And don't leave the house

And the sky overhead

Is silent, waiting

Clear blue holds its breath

And the heart is hit

In a city far away

But it feels so close

Don't breathe the air today

Don't speak of why you're afraid

(Standing here on a one way road

And I fall down, and I fall down

No other direction for this to go

And we fall down, and we fall down)

Why can't I get along

Why can't I get along

Why can't I get along with you?

And the president hides

While working men rush in

And give their lives

I look to the sky

And ask it not to rain

On my family tonight

Don't breathe the air today

Don't speak of why you're afraid

(Standing here on a one way road

And I fall down, and I fall down

No other direction for this to go

And we fall down, and we fall down)

Why can't I get along

Why can't I get along

Why can't I get along with you?

Don't breathe the air today

Don't speak of why you're afraid

(Standing here on a one way road

And I fall down, and I fall down

No other direction for this to go

And we fall down, and we fall down)

Why can't I get along

Why can't I get along

Why can't I get along with you?
