The World Is Black

1. Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing, it's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening.

And everywhere you go, it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening.

We come into this world
And we are all the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame.

[Chorus:]
But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told.

And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we say, say.

2. Living in this place, it's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing
So there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world just keeps dying, it's dying.

People always tell me, this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in his hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is he listening?

But living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect
Now I say.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
We come into this world
And we are all the same
And in that moment
There's no one to blame.

But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect
Now I say.

[Chorus]

* Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing, it's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening.
