Lives in a little lonely town

No one's around except for the drinking

Nobody ever gets around

But those who leave the township sinking

May you rot in heaven, gotta be home by 7

And the field 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 your daughter

Down in the water, down by the lake

When the cold water's on her skin

I can feel how long it's been

And the neighbors 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 even 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
