you're looking around trying not to notice that things are really falling down everywhere we go we see the signs there and i don't see it coming round will i ever know a brighter future staying here will i ever know all of the promises from years ago but as we grew we know they're far from here will we ever know a brighter future or see a 1,000 points of light just all the talking of politicians who never seem to get it right will i ever know a brighter future staying here will i ever know all of the promises from years ago but as we grew we knew it's far from here far from here . . . sometimes i get so wound up i want to take my mind i want to get away but everywhere i look i know it's the same as yesterday will we ever know a brighter future?
