BRIGHT EYES
"Old Soul Song (For The New World Order)"

Grey light, new day, leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on the alarm-clock radio
We walk the 40 blocks to the middle
Of the place we heard that everything would be
And there were barricades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushing forward
Till they from swallowed the police

[Hook:]
Yeah they went wild
Yeah they went wild
Yeah they went wild
Yeah they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle
And all the broken glass swept off the avenue
On the way home I held your camera like a bible
Wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You drop the paper in the water
And it all begins to bloom

[Hook:]
Yeah they go wild
Yeah they go wild
Yeah they go wild
Yeah they go wild

[Pre Hook:]
Just when I get so lonesome
I can't speak
I see some flowers on a hillside
Like a wall of new TVs

[Hook:]
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
Yeah, they go wild
