World Gone By

The kids running around, climbing the trees

Picking the flowers and chasing the bees

Living off bread and homemade wine

Is gonna be fine by me

Been staying inside for quite some time

Living on the edges of a world gone by

We lost Bill Withers and we lost John Prine

We're picking up the pieces of a world gone by

In a world gone by, in a world gone by

Picking up the pieces and staring at a ceiling of a clear blue sky

In a world gone by, in a world gone by

Looking at the evidence, running out of medicine, everybody's crying and it's leaving us dry

They say there's two more days till the end of this phase

Till everything is fine and it's going away

We all know that's a goddamn lie

We're picking up the pieces of a world gone by

And it's been three months of hearing nothing but lies

The politician gambles while the old man dies

We're losing our breath and we're losing our pride

The politician gambles while the old man dies

While the old man dies, while the old man dies

Thinking with the hairs that stand on our backs when our throats get dry

In a world gone by, in a world gone by

Looking at the evidence, running out of medicine, everybody's crying and it's leaving us dry

Looking at the evidence running out of medicine, everybody's crying and it's leaving us dry
