The Great Decline Lyrics

Said that I would make up but I never knew that it would take so long

How unearthly it all feels, yet I cannot know what's real until it's gone

Poverty and violence on the backs of both my eyelids, will it end?

Suffering in silence all around me, in the kids, family and friends

But everything is ok, everything is fine

That's what we always say when

We're on the great decline, oh my

Tried to fight the feeling but I knew we'd all be dealing with this mess

All the misery and hate, seems we just can't get it straight in all this stress

Ways that we've been going, and the patterns that've been showing, we can't be doing

If we tear those towers down, we can build back all the towns around the ruins

But everything is ok, everything is fine

That's what we always say when

We're on the great decline, oh my

If we do it all away we will live to see the day the sun will rise

And all that will have stayed will be here and help to break down the disguise

Only if we stick around, what was lost could soon be found, the world goes back

To what it used to be, it'll set our spirits free and right on track

But everything is ok, everything is fine

That's what we always say when

We're on the great decline, oh my

But everything is ok, everything is fine

That's what we always say when

We're on the great decline, oh my
