lyrics

The world's eyes are not here
We fade into history
Winter was cruel this year
The old reactor seethes
Your grandmother still prays
Maybe we all should

The silence and the night
The pilots and the kites
The sirens and the lights
The violence out of sight

A paycheck and a uniform
The forest and the chloroform
They'll be showing us on tours
but now we're boarding up our doors

Do you wonder where they go?
Ten years from now they'll know
They'll be showing us on tours
But now we're boarding up our doors

Dasha works at the club
Dancing for men with guns
She saves enough for all of us
Saves herself for someone's son

We don't miss the regime
The promises and schemes
The smokestacks and machines
The orange suits and steam

A paycheck and a uniform
The forest and the chloroform
They'll be showing us on tours
but now we're boarding up our doors

Do you wonder where they go?
Ten years from now they'll know
They'll be showing us on tours
But now we're boarding up our doors

Boy I read today your father's coming, father's coming home
