Suddenly

Oooh, yeeah, oh oh oh

Suddenly

When vows get broken

Day by day

Like the windows of the old school

In the playground's gone away

The old man searches dustbins

To find his daily bread

He lives all day by nicotine

And the whiskeys catches his head

Sensation is a new drug

Dead bodies on TV

Time is flying by

Have you got the time for me?

The daily papers dirty

That keeps the cold man warm

The sky is cracked wide open

And it can't keep out the storm

Suddenly

It didn't happen suddenly

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh

Suddenly

It didn't happen suddenly

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh

No, no, don't take no more

Caught up in the cross-fire

And political expense

A child crying eyes appear

Behind the garden fence

He's searching for the freedom

He'd may never see

But the mother of two children

Needs a needle to be free

What's around the corner?

Why can't we see that far

Like the four teenage boys

Whose lives were stolen like a car

If the person's skin is coloured

He knows the word "abuse"

The time is going by so fast

Ignorance is no excuse

Suddenly

It didn't happen suddenly

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh

Suddenly

It didn't happen suddenly

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh

No, no, don't take no more

No, no, no, it happens suddenly

Recreate the feeling

The killing of a peasant

The residue from this morning's atomic detonation

Is drifting in the direction of St. George

Suddenly

It didn't happen suddenly

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh

Suddenly

It didn't happen suddenly

Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh
