Surprise, Surprise

Dark clouds gather in the afternoon Come together just to cry Seagulls struggling against the wind Falling out of the sky Grandma's gathering aluminum cans in a rusty shopping cart Born-againers getting their lives Together while my whole world's falling apart Open up your eyes It's happening all around you If it hasn't found you Well You know it's just a matter of time Surprise surprise What do you think the world owes you It's not the way it's supposed to go Well you know It's just a matter of time Songbird sittig in a tree house with a trumpet to her lips I'm laying on my back in the tall Green grass staring up at the eclipse Whispers lurking in the alley behind where the children where no shoes Call girls and corner kids hustling saying what do you got to lose Open up your eyes It's happening all around you If it hasn't found you Well You know it's just a matter of time Surprise surprise What do you think the world owes you It's not the way it's supposed to go Well you know It's just a matter of time And there's nowhere you can run to because the eyes are upon you Some of the coming up hard and hungry Stepping up to take your turn Some of them throwing their money in the fire Just to watch it burn Open up your eyes It's happening all around you If it hasn't found you Well You know it's just a matter of time Surprise surprise What do you think the world owes you It's not the way it's supposed to go Well you know It's just a matter of time (It's just a matter of)
