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?
