From the recording Scratches and Dust
Lyrics
Turn on the TV, open your eyes
Listen to the truth and the lies
Open the paper, follow the lines
We’re falling on some bad luck and times
And it’s hard to face another day with bad news on your mind
And it’s hard to leave a troubled world behind
D-d-d-d-desolation
D-d-d-d-desolation
Can you imagine a world without greed
Where everybody gets what they need
Someone is starving while someone is crowned
You’d think there’d be enough to go ‘round
And it’s hard to face another day with bad news on your mind
And it’s hard to leave a troubled world behind
D-d-d-d-desolation
(Don’t let it get you down, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway)
D-d-d-d-desolation
(Get yourself off the ground, just do what you can do no matter what they say)
D-d-d-d-desolation
