I took the blue out of the news today (Wore it like an overcoat) I wrap it around me And it shields me from the thoughts That people think they need to say Standing in line for the riot (Just another sunny day) I found a couple birds who sing Of tethered friends and broken wings We waited... (We waited, and waited, and waited, and waited) So we got ourselves a figurehead Unlovely It's a lie we have to listen to you It's a lie we have to listen to you It's a lie we have to listen to you You're out of time Step out of line Reading your mean eyes through a million little screens Now we're living in the house you built The faucet leaks, the roof is caving in Oh, our troubles learn to stretch their limbs Now they're climbing up your gate They're running through your walls Oh, don't they whisper you to sleep? It's a lie we have to listen to you It's a lie we have to listen to you Don't you know, it's a lie we have to listen to you? You're out of time You're out of time You're out of time Step out of line I wore it like an overcoat Though it was just another sunny day We waited Now bye bye babies, bye bye
