Burns And Shakes

We woke up and combed through this morning's paper
I need a moment just to get my head straight
This music's too loud, kids are creeping me out I know
The money we've stolen is still no good here
And all we really wanted was the comfort of calm fear
We've nothing to prove, they say we're all doomed, by now
And all of this, I'm wondering exactly what it takes to bring
This whole thing to an end again
Once the world stops shaking, I guess we're forgiven
It burns and it shakes
So just stop
And take away my soul
I don't know if, Rock N' Roll is
Gonna tear these worlds worlds apart
Let it go, save my soul
Take away my love
I don't know if Rock N' Roll is
Gonna leave you with a broken heart
I need you, I want you, to hold you baby
This world is over honey I ain't crazy
We're far from removed and we're far past unglued by now...
And all of this, I'm wondering exactly what it takes to bring
This whole thing to an end again
If the kids stop shaking, I guess well, good riddance.
