(White/Cop/Nabb)
Verse 1
A cloud cries, sobbing bitter tears onto a dry city pavement
Mans pride, businesses offices, blocks for your entertainment
So build high in concrete and plastic in towers fantastic we fly
Verse 2
The wind sighs, blowing the litter and dust into its daily disorder
A man tries in vain with a broom to sweep it all back in the corner
To hide the flotsum and jetsum that clutters the night
You know it can’t be hidden forever, soon it will be daylight
Chorus
All out of luck
(All out of luck, we do what we can) do what we can
(All out of luck) we’re on self destruct
(All out of luck) We’re all out of luck
(We do what we can) do what we can
(All out of luck) we’re on self destruction
Verse 3
It’s the state of the U.S. the state of the United States
Killing each other watching it on TV
So look at Europe, Far East, Asia, it’s all around The World
War after war, we can’t get no peace
Reaching plague proportions, spreading like a disease
No way for us to be controlled
Ashes to Ashes our bodies turn back to dust
And may God save our souls
Chorus
All out of luck
(All out of luck, we do what we can) we do what we can
(All out of luck) we’re on self destruct
(All out of luck) We’re all out of luck
(We do what we can) we do what we can
(All out of luck) we’re on self destruction
Refrain
Buzzing in circles, like a fly on one wing
Trying to keep airborne, stay up until the last bell rings
There’s no time out in this game, what game?
There’s no referee and you’ll starve to death, trying to live on my sympathy
