Lyrics

I've been looking out the window

I am observing the outside world.

I wonder where the hell the days go

I am contemplating the passage of time.

Can't even see my old man

I cannot see my father.

Because they put him on the death row

He is sentenced to death row.

I think it's better if I lay low

It might be safer if I keep a low profile.

Out of sight and out of mind

Stay unnoticed and out of thought.


These are the signs of the time

These events are indicative of the current era.

These are the days of our lives

We are living in challenging times.


You got a virus on your cell phone

There is a disturbance in communication (metaphorically).

They've got another down the care home

Issues also exist in care homes.

It's kicking off in Minnesota

Conflict is happening in Minnesota.

It's like living in a war zone

Life feels like being in a war zone.

I think it's better if I stay alone

It might be safer to be alone.

This ain't no Fourth of July

The current situation is not a celebration.


These are the signs of the time

These events symbolize the current period.

These are the days of our lives

We are living in challenging times.

These are the signs of the time

These events symbolize the current period.

We let the blind lead the blind

We follow those who cannot see the reality.


And so I am staring out the window

I am still observing the outside world.

In this obligatory limbo

Feeling stuck in an obligatory state of limbo.

If I could only make the world just

If only I could halt the world.

stop

A desire to reverse time before it's too late.

And turn back time before we die

A wish to prevent death.


These are the signs of the time

These events symbolize the current period.

These are the days of our lives

We are living in challenging times.

These are the signs of the time

These events symbolize the current period.

We let the blind lead the blind

We follow those who cannot see the reality.
