Lights are on across America
They are turned up high
But still we don’t see what’s in front of us
There’s nothing beyond the sky
All we gotta do is flip a switch
And there we go
Suddenly it’s all too real
Suddenly we fall like a domino
On the other side of the world
Someone meets a tragic end
On the other side of the world
It's hard to comprehend, hard to comprehend
We’re living in questionable times
Yeah, strange days indeed
The dream dead, the spirit lost
You can almost see it bleed
How can we live with our demons
How can we turn away
We can build ourselves the highest wall
But we can't keep the monsters at bay
Lights are on across America
But it looks like nobody's home
From New York City to the Golden Gate
To where the buffalo roam
On the side of the world
There’s heartache and misery
It's like nothing we’ve ever known
Nothing in history
