lives in a little lonely town

no one's around except for the drinking

nobody even gets around

but those who leave the township sinking

may you rot in heaven

gotta be home by seven



and the fields burns away

the sky breathes it in

so why sit and wait

for the new world to begin



i'm comin' out across your border

with new orders for you to take

i'd really like to take out yuor daughter

down by the water down by the lake

when cold water's on her skin

i can feel how long it's been



and the neighbours will all be there

and no one will know what to wear

so why sit and wait

for the new world to begin



i got a lot i gotta do

just to get through the end of the day

it hardly ever happens

but i go to sleep the same anyway



and you can't believe in yourself

you can't believe in anyone else

so why sit and wait

for the new world to begin
