The Window by Francis Rowland

Lyrics:

I'm writing this song so long ago, the rain at my window she's the only one that knows
A lifetime of lies and a childish grin, please don't believe them when they say "I win"
Dreaming of things that would level the sky just put on the news and you'll know just why
The mornings will call and the nights they will scathe, ya clock outta work missin' half of yer brain
So what's not to love this american dream, a fable a tale just to oil the machine
So put on the big game don't worry it's cool, the fires outside will broadcast to you soon

But what's the matter, think I'm loosing interest
Lately I haven't been so sure, I think that I thought that I found a cure
So I warn them

Usually on time but today I was late, the monkey on my back aw ye they can relate
The tree is so empty this I do know, societies pliers left me in a bow
Untangle this knot and it slowly reveals there ain't no big meaning just handshakes and deals
Snow falls on rooftops and melts in the street, they don't give a damn bout this increase in heat
Prisons of thought they indulge in this vice, retracing steps of this country's past life
So pipelines go up and the icecaps will melt, I'm sorry little birdie this is the hand your were dealt

But what's the matter, think I'm loosing interest
Lately I haven't been so sure, I think that I thought that I found a cure
So I warn them

Johnnys on top his grins ear to ear, lets kill him with confidence seduce him with cheers
Jane is so quiet she gets through the week, the things she sees at home oh I can't even speak
Picture a place where you can't see a thing, they tap you on the shoulder and say get up and sing
And if this weren't enough you can kick off your boots, the hands of yer watch ya they'll act as the noose
So this window and I you can see right through, oh I'd do anything if these words weren't so true
Deep in the woods and far from the lathe, my ancient self aw he was so brave

But what's the matter, think I'm loosing interest
Lately I haven't been so sure, I think that I thought that I found a cure
So I warn them
