This Old World

Mamas in the kitchen for the evening chores Daddy in his chair he can't help no more Both lost a son in foreign war They use to pray but they don't pray no more Sometimes I wait for the dawn to come But the dawn dont ever break This old world will bring you down Don't let this world, bring you down Jaime's in her room in her little world Not really sure if she's a boy or a girl With rebel rebel on the radio She use to pray, she don't pray no more Sometimes I wait for the dawn to come But the dawn dont ever break This old world will bring you down Don't let this world, bring you down Ethan spends his nights as a punk rock king Trying to quiet his anxiety Lost his sister the year before He still sleeps outside her door Sometimes I wait for the dawn to come But the dawn dont ever break, break This old world will bring you down Don't let this world, bring you down Maria Stays late as a check out girl Can't seem to find her smile anymore Cause' a madman came into her daughter's school And took the only life that she ever knew Oh, Oh This old world, will bring you down Don't let this world, bring you down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down
