7:30am nurse the baby on the couch   then the phone rings   "turn on the t.v."   watch the world explode in flames   and don't leave the house      and the sky overhead   is silent, waiting   clear blue holds its breath   and the heart is hit   in a city far away   but it feels so close      don't breath the air today   don't speak of why you're afraid   (standing here on a one way road   and i fall down,   no other direction for this to go   so we fall down)   WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG WITH YOU?      and the president hides   while working men rush in   to give their lives   i look to the sky   and ask it not to rain   on my family tonight
