Before You Go

Phone calls from a foreign country
Rich kids asking for money
Newsflash that the summer's ending
Are they looking out for you and me?

Fallout in the plastic ocean
While you're putting on your tannin' lotion
Holiday while the beach is burnin'
Are they looking out for you and me?
Are they looking out for you and me?

Days ahead
Hangin' round for better things
Wake the dead
Any kind of song you sing
Before you go here's all those things you always wanted

Sit alone in an empty theater
Now you see it all much clearer
A sad film with a happy ending
Are they looking out for you and me?

Silent prayers and words of guidance
Finding peace in a local riot
Stay at home, have it all delivered
Are they looking out for you and me?
Are they looking out for you and me?

Days ahead
Hangin' round for better things
Wake the dead
Any kind of song you sing
Here we go
Now from the past into the future

Every night when the sun goes down
Hear that high and lonesome sound
Raise a glass for the poor and broken
Lonely faces still enduring

Days ahead
Hangin' round for better things
Wake the dead
Any kinda song you sing
Days ahead
Hanging on for better things
Before you go
Here's all those things you always wanted
Before you go
