You say the TV is faking us, and all our heroes have forsaken us
Don't leave us out here like some sycophants
You say wait for the right time, but it's never the right time
If you don't see me back here then you'll know
And that scrolling screen is all you seem willing to hold on to
Only tonight we were splitting our sides
Just thinking what a week it's been

He said, "When all is told and you weigh it up
We don't need a wall, we need a bigger boat"
Well tell me something new
He said, "Do I have hope? "
And I said, "I don't"
But I do, I do, I do, 'course I do

When you put out the call, but your hero never seems to show
When your begging pleas fall on deaf ears of the gods you need
I still do, I do

I do declare it's a cartoon out there
We're better off here in this living room
The future is taunting us, history's haunting us
Look at us now, this will never do
These rising degrees and the blue screen beams
Don't say we go down like this
And you're never alone like
When you're alone on the dawn light precipice


He said, "When all is told and you weigh it up
We don't need a wall, we need a bigger boat"
Well tell me something new
He said, "Do I have hope? "
And I said, "I don't"
But I do, I do, I do, 'course I do

When you put out the call, but your hero never seems to show
When your begging pleas fall on deaf ears of the gods you need
I still do, I do
When you put out the call, but your hero never seems to show
When your begging pleas fall on deaf ears of the gods you need
I still do, I do, I do, I do
