Is this the new year or just another night
Is this the new fear or just another fright
Is this a new tear or just another desperation
Is this the finger or just another fist
Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss
I miss direction most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom
Is this what you call pain
Is this what they call disconnected fame
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the new year or just another desperation

You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is there nothing here worth saving' Is no one here at all'
Is there any net left that could break our fall'
It'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented' Have you been pushing hard'
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards'
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is there nothing left now, nothing left to sing
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy
Is this the new year or just another desperation

Does justice ever find you' Do the wicked never lose'
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues'
And nothing is okay until the world caves in
Until the world caves in, until the world caves in...
