Lyrics

[Verse 1]
An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert, red alert
[Verse 2]
It's so hard to stay together
Passin' through revolving doors
We need someone to talk to
And someone to sweep the floors
Incomplete, incomplete
[Verse 3]
The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
While I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you're goin' through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you
[Verse 4]
Cruising under your radar
Watching from the satellites
Take a page from the red book
And keep them in your sights
Red alert, red alert
[Verse 5]
Left and rights of passage
Black and whites of youth
Who can face the knowledge that the truth is not the truth?
Absolute, absolute, yeah
[Verse 6]
Oh
The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
While I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you're goin' through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you
[Verse 7]
The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
While I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you're goin' through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you
[Verse 8]
Absalom, Absalom, Absalom
