Old Soul Song (For The New World Order)

Gray light, new day leaks through the window

An old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio

We walk the forty blocks to the middle

Of the place we heard that everything would be

And there were barricades to keep us off the street

But the crowd kept pushing forward

Till they swallowed the police

Ya, they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle

Now all the broken glass swept off the avenue

And on the way home held your camera like a bible

Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth

And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room

You dropped the paper in the water

And it all begins to bloom

Ya they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I cant speak

I see some flowers on the hillside

Like a wall of new TVs

Ya, they go wild
