Old Soul Song (for the New World Order)

Grey light, new day, leaks through the window An old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio We walk 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 on 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 dropped 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 And just when I get so lonesome I can't speak I see some flowers on a hill side Like a wall of new TV's 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
