Pandemonium
It's pandemonium
In the streets there's a sadness
An unbridled madness abound
And the sound is like nothing I've ever heard at all before
I try to face the crowd
They're pushing and shoving,
They just keep on coming
And I ask myself,
How did it ever come to this unfortunate abyss?
We'll never know how long it's all gonna last,
Centuries have passed
They're full of pain, what have we gained?
Fighting for scraps, maybe we could perhaps have
Change, instead of chains,
No more worry and no more games
Friends, instead of trends,
It's all the means to an untimely end
The skies are turning grey
What happened to the day?
Oh, I could never say
That's not my job, but moving on
If we don't stop and look around sometime,
Then everyone and each of us is
Gone, all gone, you're reality shows,
You'll never strike a pose again, you're dead
Just like I said, fighting for scraps
We could perhaps have
Change, instead of chains,
No more worry and no more games
Friends, instead of trends
It's all the means to an untimely end
I mean it when I say
There's still hope for us anyway
And I don't wanna get you down
But I've been seeing what's going around
It's pandemonium
In the streets there's a sadness
An unbridled madness abound
And the sound is like nothing I've ever heard at all before
(la da da da da)
In the streets there's a sadness
An unbridled madness abound
And the sound is like nothing I've ever heard at all before
I try to face the crowd
They're pushing and shoving,
They just keep on coming
And I ask myself,
How did it ever come to this unfortunate abyss?
We'll never know how long it's all gonna last,
Centuries have passed
They're full of pain, what have we gained?
Fighting for scraps, maybe we could perhaps have
Change, instead of chains,
No more worry and no more games
Friends, instead of trends,
It's all the means to an untimely end
The skies are turning grey
What happened to the day?
Oh, I could never say
That's not my job, but moving on
If we don't stop and look around sometime,
Then everyone and each of us is
Gone, all gone, you're reality shows,
You'll never strike a pose again, you're dead
Just like I said, fighting for scraps
We could perhaps have
Change, instead of chains,
No more worry and no more games
Friends, instead of trends
It's all the means to an untimely end
I mean it when I say
There's still hope for us anyway
And I don't wanna get you down
But I've been seeing what's going around
It's pandemonium
In the streets there's a sadness
An unbridled madness abound
And the sound is like nothing I've ever heard at all before
(la da da da da)
