Orbiting rock in the space of time Hear the witness of the chimes of the merry-go-round Glooming clouds over the gulfs sunken towns Water raising creating drowning tombstones High it goes above the high moons night monsoons Memories die creating screeching cries And then we SAY What we did TODAY It meant nothing in this broken DAY Lives destroyed without ever saying goodbye We tried so hard everyday to get bye And then we SAY Winds stirring looking for somewhere else to play In your backyard where you once gazed and played It took it all for a day of fun Done with what your life once preserved away Taking all you had in one grazing way And then we SAY What we did TODAY It meant nothing in this broken DAY Lives destroyed without ever saying goodbye We tried so hard everyday to get bye And then we SAY One nation under a god A lie shot down by a country without a corrupted thought Disasters happening so fast, you wonder why Try to understand the glowing red bloodshed Mass destruction is creeping up ahead Many dead of mourning lead Labeling a great nation without a ounce of patience And then we SAY (and then we say) What we did today (what we did today) And then we SAY (and then we say) What we did today (what we did today) It meant nothing in this broken DAY Lives destroyed without ever saying goodbye We tried so hard everyday to get bye
