You’ve seen better days
I’m sad to say
But there’s no use in crying now
Raise a toast to what was,
Laugh together, fight the tears
Turn your back on better days
We are wanting, we are wanting,
We are wanting, we are wanting
And from my window I can watch the cruelty of children,
The vicious sparkle in their little eyes
Smiles like jagged scars, deserts in their hearts
See myself reflected in their eyes
We’ve all seen better days
I have to say
But I really can’t be bothered with it now
Nothing to be done,
Oh, what’s the use?
Close the lid on better days
I can hear it in the distance,
As it crushes one more city,
As it gobbles up another family
After all the fires, when only ash remains
There’s still something left for me
We are wanting, we are wanting,
We are wanting, we are wanting,
Wanting, wanting,
We are wanting….
