A blue-grey sky Fills in my head today The drums sound softly A million miles away I know these things all seem the same To you it's just an endless game I know these things all seem the same The blue-black sky You disappear in grey What should be bitter Tastes very sweet today I know these things all seem the same To you it's just an endless game Like D.C. guns fired in the rain And if I looked to you What would I find So many doorways closed So many times But I just can't believe The world's that way The D.C. guns Fall silent for a day A bad time gone A blue sky turned to grey I know these things all seem the same To you it's just an endless game I know these things all seem the same To you it's just an endless game I know these things all seem the same To you it's just an endless game Like D.C. guns fired in the rain
You're looking around Trying not to notice That things are really falling down Everywhere we go We see the signs there And I don't see it coming round Will I ever know A brighter future staying here Will I ever know All of the promises from years ago But as we grew we know They're far from here Will we ever know A brighter future Or see a thousand points of light Just all the talking of politicians Who never seem to get it right Will I ever know A brighter future staying here Will I ever know All of the promises from years ago But as we grew we knew It's far from here Far from here Sometimes I get so wound up Sometimes I get so wound up I want to take my mind I want to get away But everywhere I look I know it's the same as yesterday Will we ever know A brighter future?

I remember when we walked as one And all the truths were known And we were scrappers in the school yard fights Talked tough on the telephone But there was always one big guy who feared nothing and no one His name was Gary and he looked so mean He wasn't a lot of fun When he walked by, you got the fuck out of the way Now Gary was the school yard bully Didn't have a lot of friends He had kids do his homework for him Stupid 'til the end On Graduation Day he stood the tallest, and he got his degree He couldn't add two plus two Let loose on society When he walked by, you got the fuck out of the way Gary was, was the top cat in his day Everybody said that he'd get his someday And I swear to this day that I still see his face When I have a bad dream at night, he's the monster to my right Now Gruesome Gary met his match at a young and tender age He got a whipping at the mall one night, and the police took him away The town cheered and the geeks all jeered, but I'll just make a bet Gary will live on in infamy -- he was the meanest guy you ever met!
