Lyrics
The Big House
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.
Hear the guns and the distant thunder,
I can't go out there.
So detached from the ache and the hunger,
afraid to care.
Don't know it when the sun goes down.
I read it that the world spins 'round...
Here in The Big House
We're living in "Panavision",
We got a city we call Avalon.
Here in The Big House,
We got a subdivision
where it is burning like the Amazon.
Fifty-two little states in a jumble,
nowhere to run.
Got to fight to survive in the jungle,
My head is numb.
We were looking for a better life,
Still hoping it will turn out right...
Here in The Big House
We're living in "Panavision",
We got a city we call Avalon.
Here in The Big House,
We got a subdivision
where it is burning like the Amazon.
