"Paralyzed"



I Look Out To The Fields

Where Blood Is Shed Upon The Ground

I Breathe In, Breathe Out

Change The Channel, (mute) The Sound

I Take A Match, A Cigarette, And A Walk To Clear My Head

Stomach Seething At The Thought Of All Those (human Beings Dead)



I Breathe In, Breathe Out

I'm Going To An Interview

About A Song, Three Minutes Long

That Will Mean Nothing To You

Especially When Your Dearest Friend

Was Sent To Cover Kosovo

His Last Assignment Brought A Bullet

And Now He's Gone, He's Gone



Feels Like I'm (fiddling) While Rome Is Burning Down

Should I Put My (fiddle) Down And Rise Up From The Ground

God Give Me Strength To Pray That You Will Set Things Right

'cause I'm Paralyzed, I'm Paralyzed



There Was A (Christian) In The Office

Sent To Tell The Wife (the News)

Fell In Shock, The Baby Kicked, Shed A Tear Inside The Womb

I Breathe In, Breathe Out

Soak The Ground Up With My Eyes

I Try To Say A Healing Word

But My Tongue Is Paralyzed



Feels Like I'm (fiddling) While Rome Is Burning Down

Should I Put My (fiddle) Down And Rise Up From The Ground

God Give Me Strength To Pray That You Will Set Things Right

'cause I'm Paralyzed, I'm Paralyzed
