New World Lyrics by Soul Asylum

New World Lyrics

    Lives in a little lonely town
    No one's around except for the drinking
    Nobody ever gets around
    But those who leave the township sinking

    May you rot in heaven
    Gotta be home by seven

    And the field burns away
    The sky breathes it in
    So why sit and wait for the new world to begin

    I'm comin' out across your border
    With new orders for you to take
    I'd really like to take out your daughter
    Down in the water, down by the lake

    When the cold water's on her skin
    I can feel how long it's been

    And the neighbors will all be there
    And no one will know what to wear
    So why sit and wait for the world to begin

    I got a lot i gotta do
    Just to get through the end of the day
    It hardly ever even happens
    But i go to sleep the same anyway

    And you can't believe in yourself
    You can't believe in anyone else
    So why sit and wait for the new world to begin
