Love Is Gonna Bail You Out

Is this really happening?
I can't believe my eyes
Just how has it come to this?

Oh I thought we could be different
But it won't matter how hard you try
We're all of us wrapped up in this

If you really think that love is gonna bail you out
This time
You've been sold an empty line
We're bound for the same fate as everybody else
Just look around and you'll see the signs

What on earth is going on?
I just don't understand
How no one seems to give a damn

Oh I put my faith in leaders
'Cos I thought they had this planned
But they're as lost as I am

If we'd only known that things were gonna end up this way
Back then
Would we have done it just the same?
A day like this one was destined from the start, yeah
At no one's feet can we lay the blame

Now we're all on
the fast track to oblivion
We tried our best
But there's nothing left

And now the hour has come
Whether you like it or not
We're gonna have to step aside

We had a pretty good run
Yeah, we gave an awful lot
But we can no longer stem the tide
And if you really think that love is gonna bail you out
This time
You've been sold an empty line
We're bound for the same fate as everybody else
Just look around and you'll see the signs

That we're all on
the fast track to oblivion
We tried our best
But there's nothing left
