Lyrics:

  • First thought is to run
  • Before it hits the ground
  • Make a safe distance
  • Before it crashes down

  • Ah, let’s have a look
  • See a fiddle and cloud of grey
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world blow away

  • Well, mama never told me
  • Watch out for flying mirrors? metal
  • Papa never told me
  • I’ll never find a peaceful place to settle

  • I’m looking right down the road, I
  • See you coming my way
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world blow away

  • Tell the world to throw it all in
  • Why’d that boy explode
  • How you supposed to take it
  • All over the road

  • Well I got a lot of patience
  • But the meaning is clear
  • I’m standing on the corner
  • And they’re trying to blow me outta here

  • Will somebody tell me
  • What are you supposed to do
  • Big proven ruble grabbing me
  • Tryin’ – comin’ through

  • Now he you find alone
  • Maybe he’ll let you too
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world flow on through

  • I’m gonna write a letter
  • Send it to that man
  • He will have an answer
  • Tell me what the hell have you got planned

  • When you gonna take the stand
  • Its been going on too long
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watchin' the world going by

  • The shit's all made in China
  • Cheap as it can be
  • Well, my hard-earned work
  • They’ll give it away for free

  • My blood starts to boil
  • Am I losing my fire
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world run wild

  • Sometimes I feel I
  • Can make a difference at all
  • Well I’m going down to Joe’s
  • And I’m throwing darts at the wall

  • I’d have me a drink
  • Watch the game and forest fell
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world go to hell

  • Two by two, all of gods creatures on the burning ark
  • Two by two, watching our eyes go dark
  • Won’t somebody tell me, how are you supposed to feel
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world disappear

  • Well I gotta dog a bridge
  • Just to make ends meet
  • Fuckin price of oil
  • Fuckin price of heat

  • I went down to a church
  • They don’t give a damn as far as I can see
  • Standing on the corner
  • Watching the world killing me

  • But I’m gonna go on home
  • Beat the crowd out
  • Find a place with water
  • Before there’s none left

  • I saw 'Apocalypse Now'
  • That was nothing compared to this
  • Standing on the corner
  • Takin’ a piss

  • Won’t somebody tell me
  • How’d it get so bad
  • What wrong with those people
  • How’d they get so mad

  • Now I don’t know the answer
  • But the feeling is clear
  • I’m standing on the corner
  • ‘Till the end is near
