Last ditch effort to communicate
You hear my voice and it's already much too late
You feel my heart, then we're tied by fate
Oh come on, come on
You can't hardly stand it
The battle city gone to Friday night, all right
The lonely people lock their vision up inside
The city swears that it never lies
Oh come on, come on, hopeful romantics
The streets are dark and all the buildings burn
They were the single hope the people placed upon the earth
Their only fall cause they never learned
Oh come on, you know the daylight is fadin'
Their minds are sick, and now their eyes are red, oh yeah
Their hearts are heavy and their hopes are all dead
If they'd have tried, but they could have said
Oh come on, we gotta break it away
They come a time when they listen
They come a time when they listen up
They come a time when they listen
They come a time when it's different, oh
They come a time when it's different, not today
Last ditch effort to communicate
If you hear my voice then it's already much too late
If you feel my heart, then we're tied by fate
Ah, but I can feel our hearts leading
S.O.S. there's no end in sight
Good, free people like your eyes off at night
Your sons are dead now prepare to fight
Ah, there's no consolation
