News for You Songtext
von The Present Moment

The fires burn, from a mile away
The smell of smoke, diesel, crushed metal
The sirens scream, all night and throughout the day
Now the pressure′s on the petal

The blind servants merge on the counterattack
They'll paint a different picture
So where′s the truth in that?
The story's old, and so it's been sold out before
But things are different now
These signs you can′t ignore

They say such revolution
Is just in fashion, man
All of your self-delusions
Against their master plan
They hold the dice and the cards, darling
You′d better cheat while you can
Cheat while you can


So does it take your own daughters and sons to die
For you to wake on up
Stop pushing this aside
They say the calm is right before the storm
Then chaos factors in
As the tide turns

Moving, shaping, crashing, burning
Out of the ashes, what have we learned?
Seeking, holding truth to power
Beyond the realm of human concern

We've seen it all
We know what they′ll do
I'll toe the line
But I′ve got news for you
See I've got news for you

All of the questions need the answers
We deserve to know
We need more comfort from this misery
Then just another candle to hold
As your friends drift away like a ghost
Who were the ones you loved the most?
