lyrics

My head has been ringing like a dinner bell
Someone's been spittin' in my wishing well
And pressure's building up I'm about to explode
Like a warm can of soda rolling down a hot road
I'm up in the morning with the world in my hands
But it slides through my fingers like a single grain of sand

I've been thinking the situation just has come to light
With some persuasion the next equation just might come out right

Gonna tighten up my shoes and walk a straight line
But my laces they break every time that I try
And there's a sweet side to sadness that has its own joy
And they summon up the demons that we all employ
The warm wind of hope blows a steady breeze
I sure don't want anyone feeling sorry for me

I've been thinking the situation just has come to light
With some persuasion the next equation just might come out right
It just might... come out right

Who will blow the whistle on original sin
Who will wear our hats when our heads cave in
And who will dig the grave for humanity
When hate conquers over unanimity
And who will pick the flag up when it falls to the ground
Who will light the matches to burn it back down

I've been thinking the situation just has come to light
With some persuasion the next equation just might come out right
It just might... come out right
It just might...
