New York Town

Too much pain, too much sorrow

Eyes bone dry, get on with our tomorrows

I wake up in a pool of tears and sweat

Cryin' for some friends i ain't never even met

Then i hear the drone of a low-flyin' plane

And oh my god, here we go again!

Skyscrapers blowin' up inside my head

Screamin' at a fireman whose radio is dead

Flyin' in a chopper over the towers

Get out of there, my sisters and brothers

I been tellin' everybody since 1993

These radios are gonna be the death of me

Ain't no smoke without a fire

The people want answers not patronizin'

Somethin' goin' down, new york town

Somethin' goin' down

Somethin' goin' down, new york town

Somethin' goin' down

I been talkin' to a man from the cia

Hey we got you covered, kid, everything is okay

Then why the hell ain't we had an investigation

It's just too complicated

'sides you just don't get the political implications

And you sound like a commie from the united nations.

Too man friends, too many heroes

Dust in the wind - ground zero

Too many cowboys, too many martyrs

Too many questions, not enough answers

Was no one lookin' out for us, is that so simplistic

Brothers and sisters all becomin' statistics

Ain't no smoke.

I dreamed i saw the white house - an oil well in the yard

Was i just bein' paranoid?

Suvs, sobs, gas guzzlers

Didn't conservation go out with jimmy carter

Is it just me and my imagination

Or have we sold out the very spirit of this nation?

The talkin' heads are chattering on television

In between ads - the new religion

I wish they'd leave me here just broken-hearted

Right back where i started

Then i hear the rumble of a low flyin' plane

And, oh my god, this thing is happenin' again

Ain't no smoke
