World Interrupted

Sorry, please, excuse me.

Has anyone else noticed that the world's gone crazy?

I mean it's bad, but it's a fact,

They're cloning babies with animals to see what we can get

If we mess with natural law

Oh so super smart, but really who is it for?

So, while they're cloning and sending rockets into space

Millions of children, well they'll be trafficked, they'll be slaves,

And we'll be sipping our semi-chilled chardonnay and say

'oh it's such a shame, exactly who are we supposed to blame?'

Well what do we gain if we gain it all,

Just more and more, till we lose our soul?

So how much more can the soul can it take, groaning underneath our selfish ways?

After all, after all, it's … to say for ourselves

Between all the nothing and all of the world

Between all the love, the loss and the stealth

Everyone needs some kind of help.

Yesterday the news said, 'a pregnant man was giving birth',

And maybe tomorrow there'll be no oil for us to burn

But for today they say they're testing nuclear missiles in case

Well just in case, in case of what?

In case all your fighting doesn't stop?

So while you're talking, and shaking hands and launching your missiles

Somewhere a rich man is popping pills to stay alive

He just lost everything just in an instant,

In a flash, just crashed, oh the markets screamed,

Quick sell the house, hurry, mortgage our dreams

And just down the road a teenage tragedy

And a pregnant brownie brought to you by mtv

So how much more can the soul can it take, groaning underneath our selfish ways?

After all, after all, it's … say for ourselves

How much more can this soul take, groaning underneath our selfish ways?

After all, after all it's … to say for ourselves

Between all the progress and all of the hell,

Between all the slums and all the hotels

Everyone needs some kind of help

Out of the dust surely dawn will arise

Out of the ground our hope will ignite

Out of the night the truth will endure

Calling the end until the office appear
