Sometimes I feel overwhelmed
And I gotta lay low
Sometimes I feel all the pain
I just wanna let go
All these stories, it’s not fair
The world’s gone mad, we’ve run out of air
And I, I’m just so weary
Of kindness overthrown
And I, I know you hear me
But you’ve got problems of your own
But don’t you understand, that it’s a
Long, long, long fuse… But it’s a Big Bang
“Baby what you wanna be,
Later when you’re all grown”?
“I’d like mamma to play with me,
So I wanna be a cell phone”
Now I’m addicted to all this stuff,
And who’s to say I can’t get enough?
And I, I want for nothing,
Except what I can’t buy
And I, I know you need me,
But right now mamma’s gotta cry
‘Cause don’t I understand, that it’s a
Long, long, long fuse… But it’s a Big Bang
For unknown reasons something’s snapped tonight,
I’ve crossed a line
Bent double over these keys
That unlock my plea
For you, and me, well everybody
To be free
I’ve got Rilke’s letters here,
Teachings of Don Juan.
I’ll end with the serenity prayer,
A shot of Dylan
And all of this goes round inside,
The best and worst of human kind
And I, I’m just so sorry,
I hope things can improve,
But I, I’m filled with worry,
That time’s already on the move
‘Cause don’t we understand, that it’s a
Long, long, long fuse… But it’s a Big Bang
