Old Soul Song (for The New World Order)

Grey like new day leaks through the window And old soul song Comes on the alarm clock radio. We walked the forty blocks to the middle Of the place we heard that everything would be And there were barricades To keep us off the street But the crowd kept pushing forward ‘Til they swallowed the police Yeah, they went wild Yeah, they went wild Yeah, they went wild Yeah, they went wild We left before the dust had time to settle And all the broken glass swept off the avenue And all the way home held your camera Like a bible Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room You drop the paper in the water And it all begins to bloom. Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Just when I get so lonesome I can't speak I see some flowers on a hillside Like a wall of new TVs. Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild Yeah, they go wild
