and consequently the politicians had their work cut out for them.
Then we sat ourselves down by the walls of the coffee bar and wailed
we looked so goofy then in our seamless faces.
Were things that much better above ground those days

when we sat ourselves down by the walls of the coffee bar and wailed
Oh Lord, we don't like this one, give us another sign.

Oh Lord, we don't like this, give us another sign.
Reality we are told is as statistical as marraige
and there's less permission than ever to say that you don't know.
This is the city where they got what they wanted.
