Lyrics

Too much pain, too much sorrow Eyes bone dry, get on without tomorrow Wake up in a pool of tears and sweat Crying for some friends I ain't never even met Then I hear the drone of a low flying plane Oh my God, here we go again Skyscrapers blowing up inside my head Screaming at a fireman whose radio's dead Flying in a chopper over the towers Get out of there my sisters and brothers I've been telling everybody since 1993 These radios are gonna be the death of me Ain't no smoke without a fire The people want answers, not patronizing Sun's going down, New York town Sun's going down, New York town I've been talking to a man from the CIA (Hey, we got you covered, everything is okay) Then why the hell ain't we had an investigation? (It's just too complicated) Besides you just don't get the political implications You sound like a commie from the United Nations Too many friends, too many heroes Dust in the wind, Ground Zero Too many cowboys, too many marchers Too many questions, not enough answers Was no one looking out for us? Is that so simplistic? Brothers and sisters all becoming statistics Ain't no smoke without a fire The people want answers, not patronizing Sun's going down, New York town Sun's going down, New York town I dreamed I saw the White House, an oil well in the yard (Was I just being paranoid?) SUVs, SOPs, gas guzzlers (Didn't conservation go out with Jimmy Carter?) Is it just me and my imagination Or have we sold out the very spirit of this nation? The talking heads are chattering on television In between ads (the new religion) I wish they'd leave me here just broken-hearted Right back where I started Then I hear the rumble of a low flying plane And oh my God, this thing is happening again Ain't no smoke without a fire The people want answers, not patronizing Sun's going down, New York town Sun's going down, New York town Sun's going down, New York town Sun's going down, New York town I said sun's going down, New York town I said sun's going down, New York town
