Where Are We Now?

Late at night, I lie awake, staring down a barrel
Hands tied and something keeps holding on to me
Dreaming up an SOS to send you in a bottle
Saying life is complicated and should have said some more
Shoals of kids on liquid streets, praying for tomorrow
Trying to find the ground now their feet don't touch the floor
Looking at a future they must beg, steal or borrow
You told them life was complicated, you could have told them more

Face to face
Keep staring but this shit won't change
And it wears you down
And while we wait, some things are always left too late
Where are we now?

Late at night, I lie awake, staring down a barrel
Deadweight as something keeps holding on to me
Thinking up an SOS to send you in a bottle
Saying life is complicated and should have said some more
Rings of kids on diamond streets, paying for tomorrow
Looking for the ground, now all hope is on the floor
Tell them what the future holds and bring them out this sorrow
You told them life was complicated, you could have told them more

Face to face
Keep staring but this shit won't change
And it wears you down
And while you wait, some things are always left too late
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
Where are we now?
