Country Down

from ¡dos! by Wild Daydream

/

lyrics

Your green light’s turned yellow
And headed for red
Bruises black and blue consume your weary head
You’ve been stretched too far, too long, and standing on the edge
Used to be happy
Used to feel alive
But if life has taught you anything, it’s how to hide
So you stay at home, all alone with your TV guide

Oh my Lord, don’t let the country go down
Oh my Lord, don’t let the country go down

Trash on the pavement
Debris on the ground
Your baby’s at the window with an anxious frown
Tugging at your sleeve and asking why nobody’s out
Your street’s been pourin’ red
My river’s run dry
Been searchin’ for the sun while you’re up at night
Waitin’ on the day to raise that warm sunshine

Oh my Lord, don’t let the country go down
Oh my Lord, don’t let the country go down

Used to feel happy
Used to feel okay
But now I can’t believe anything I say
And to my dismay there’s a storm cloud comin’ out
Is there a reason?
Is there a rhyme?
For all this lonely pain that I feel inside?
Tell me dear lord, is there more I can do right now? Tell Me!

Oh my Lord, don’t let the country go down
Oh my Lord, don’t let our country go down!
Hey!
