From the recording Au Contraire (2010)

Lyrics

Tiny little babies since the day that we're bornBroken world is heavingHeaping on it's scornClumsy little fingersTryin' to make their way through the black & white traffic lightsDyin' to find what's trueI'm a blind navigatorStone deaf diplomatUnrefinedThrowin' one linersAll of 'em fallin' flatThought I saw the futureAn infernal brilliant blastTryin' to fathom all the falloutLooked a whole lot like the pastEvery foolish thing I've saidStupid things I still couldDon't even scratch the surface of how much I've misunderstoodPaved it all with good intentionBut the road to hell is crudePrayer and confession: bring me strength and gratitudeEveryday I live only to die a little moreDon't go a-worryin' 'bout me, ladyGot all my aimless plans in storeFix your heart upon the childrenIt's them I worry most aboutThe fall of Rome is comin'They're gonna have to learn to doWithoutToday I couldn't wake upPull myself from bedRain clouds in the atticA thunderstorm aheadThey say you gotta be tenaciousPull your boots up by the strapsBent my body overFelt the blood rushThought I might collapse
