Down by Law - At Home in the Wasteland Lyrics

you're looking around
trying not to notice
that things are really falling down
everywhere we go
we see the signs there
and I don't see it coming round
will I ever know
a brighter future staying here
will I ever know
all of the promises from years ago
but as we grew we know
they're far from here
will we ever know
a brighter future
or see a 1,000 points of light
just all the talking of politicians
who never seem to get it right
will I ever know
a brighter future staying here
will I ever know
all of the promises from years ago
but as we grew we knew
it's far from here
far from here . . .
sometimes I get so wound up
I want to take my mind
I want to get away
but everywhere I look
I know it's the same as yesterday
will we ever know
a brighter future?
