Lyrics
I see the morning paper, I crumble it to bits
I observe the morning newspaper, tearing it into pieces
Cause it's bad again
Because the situation is bad once again
How long will it take us?
Questioning how long it will take for us to realize this is the reality
To find out that this is it
To discover that the current state is the truth
Until it's bad again?
Until the situation becomes unfavorable again?
The leaves are falling
Referring to the falling of leaves, possibly symbolizing change or decay
The leaves are falling
Reiteration of the falling leaves, emphasizing the natural process
Turning over and over the leaves are turning over
Describing the continuous and cyclical nature of leaves turning over
Getting colder and colder, the leaves are turning over
Emphasizing the increasing chilliness as the leaves keep turning over
Why do so many races, fight while our children play?
Raising a question about conflicts among different races while children innocently play
Will we melt away? Try and they'll take your best friend
Possibly suggesting consequences for attempting to make a positive change
Try and they'll take your head
Highlighting potential risks, including losing one's head, for caring about certain matters
For caring about, for caring about
Expressing concern for caring about issues that might lead to negative consequences
The leaves are falling
Reiteration of the falling leaves, maintaining the metaphorical theme
The leaves are falling
Continuing the description of leaves falling, reinforcing the cyclical pattern
Turning over and over the leaves are turning over
Emphasizing the repetitive and continuous nature of leaves turning over
Getting colder and colder, the leaves are turning over
Highlighting the increasing coldness as the leaves keep turning over
Will we care again?
Raising a question about whether we will care again in the face of challenges
Will we care again?
Pondering if there will be a resurgence of care and concern
Everyone passes on and believes in what they want to
Commenting on people passing away and believing in what they choose to believe
If we heal, we can feel something that we didn't want to
Suggesting that healing can lead to unexpected emotions or realizations
There's a sign for the time, you can read it if you want to
Referring to a sign indicating the time, with the option to ignore or comprehend it
Or everyone will become, numb
Warning about the risk of everyone becoming emotionally numb
They're falling
Repetition of the imagery of falling leaves, possibly symbolizing inevitable change or decline
They're falling
-They're falling
-They're falling
-They're falling
