Fired forty rounds in the center of town   He thought to bring the world around   Sleepless nights with God and Christ   The New Messiah      Burn the world to change the days   Can be done in better ways   But to make news and front page   You've got to aim higher      They didn't build Jerusalem   They didn't find the land   For reasons of security   They couldn't find the plans      And we're left standing, watching from below   No new songs, no new heroes   Standing on the sidelines watching the flow   Waiting for the day the circle's broken      Took the mic to save day   The rock star's going to have his say   Interpret things in any way as if it matters   'Cause nothing's black and nothing's white   Nothing appears to be quite right   It'll be this way until the day, the circle's shattered      I hear an old song yesterday about a better world   You know the story well, they're all the same   The boy gets the girl      And we're left standing watching from below   No new songs, no new heroes   Standing on the sidelines watching the flow   Waiting for the day the circle's broken      From the tips of your fingers, the rest is numb   You begin to feel the warmth of the sun   It's taking away been taking away   All you once knew      Taking it back takes all you've got   No time to sit and watch it rot   Believe it's yours and not the lies   Or all hell to you      They didn't build Jerusalem   They didn't find the land   For reasons of security   They couldn't find the plans      And we're left standing, watching from below   No new songs and no new heroes   Standing on the sidelines watching the flow   Waiting for the day the circle's broken
