Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
I woke up with the power out, not really somethin to shout about. ice
has covered up my parents hands, dont have any dreams dont have any
plans. i went out into the night, i went out to find some light. kids
are swingin from the power lines, nobodys home so nobody minds
i woke up on the darkest night, neighbors all were shouting that they
found the light - 'we found the light.' - shadows jumpin all over my
walls, some of them big, some of them small. i went out into the night
i went out to pick a fight with anyone. light a candle for the kids,
jesus christ dont keep it hid!
ice has covered up my parents eyes, dont know how to see, dont know
how to cry. growin up in some strange storm, nobodys cold, nobodys
warm. i went out into the night, i went out to find some light. kids
are dyin out in the snow, look at them go - look at them go!
and the powers out in the heart of man, take it from your heart put
it in your hand. whats the plan? whats the plan? is it a dream? is
it a lie? i think ill let you deceide. just light a candle for the
kids , jesus christ dont keep it hid! cause nothings hid, from us
kids! you aint foolin nobody - with the lights out! and the powers
out in the heart of man, take it from your heart put it in your hand.
and theres something wrong in the heart of man, you take it from your
heart and put it in your hand! whered you go?!
