Lyrics
No Avalon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just a white girl
From a small, safe town
What could I possibly know about destruction?
My lawn sure looks green today
Underneath these suburban skies
But the little boy next door
Wants to be the Lord of the Flies
It's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our brothers die
My bed is so safe here
And my rose-colored glasses, they're broken
And how the truth leaks in and I, I can't imagine
I saw it on the news tonight
That they'd announce his name
I saw the blood on his hands
And they told me to look away
I tell you, it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our sisters die
Die
Why, why?
Why?
It's a confusing civilization, darling
I tell you, it's like Cain and Abel and the holy sacrifice
And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes
And there is no Avalon and we only have one life
It's hard to conceive why we let our people die
We let 'em die
We watch them die
