Ladies and Gentleman Lyrics

Through separate scenes

With oceans between

Can we see them

Do we see them

From a nation that gleams

To nations that scream

Can we hear them

Do we hear them

We're failing to see

What's all around

While over the sea

They're calling aloud

They're waiting to see

If we'll answer

Will we answer

But if it was all over now

Then we never wanted it anyway

We've been living in loathing

It's not over yet

We've got a lot of things left to say

So we're laying ourselves down

The sex on the screen

And our American dream

Can we see them

Do we see them

And the Jesus I see

Is he working for me

Do I see him

Does anybody see him

We're failing to see

What's all around

While over the sea

They're calling aloud

They're waiting to see

If we'll answer

Will we answer

But if it was

All over now

Then we never wanted it anyway

We've been living in loathing

It's not over yet

We've got a lot of things left to say

So we're laying ourselves down

Could he save us from our selfish needs

And make in us an infantry

Of justice

Could we hang our needs up in the trees

And bring about a day of peace

And justice

But if it was

All over now

Then we never wanted it anyway

We've been living in loathing

It's not over yet

We've got a lot of things left to say

So we're laying ourselves down
