Not What We Wanted

Now it sees that night is day

My uneasy focus has slipped away

Drunk from the poison cup

Brings sheer relief to me

Head full of the news

Twenty-first century



Bring along your old banjo

I want to hear you play

Gonna play an old sad song

To blow away the day

One that trips off the tongue

I wanna hear what you say

Everybody sing along

Now everybody pray



Because the fast time that we had

It wasn't what we wanted



Changing weather blows away

But the slaughter and the showbiz

These are here to stay
