In times of war, the educated class knew what to do

In times of peace, their pupils couldn’t meet your baby blues

400 million animals competing for the zoo

It’s such a bleak sunrise

CHORUS:

Untrue, unkind and unnatural

How the cruel with time

Becomes classical

I know that walls fall

Shacks shake

Bridges burn

And bodies break

It’s clear

Something’s gonna change

And when it does

Which classical remains?

The temple’s gone but still a single column stands today

That sinking feeling fades but never really goes away

A staircase up to nothingness inside your DNA

Well, that’s a bleak sunrise

CHORUS
