Skylark The Writing's On The Wall
The Writing's on the Wall — Don Troiano
I looked out my window
It was a foggy afternoon
I breathed in some air
You know I couldn't get in too soon
I turned on the news
It list the food I should not eat
Don't you run around today
You might pass out in the heat
[Chorus]
Writing's on the wall
The facts are in the book
Nothing lost is nothing gained
It's all around you — have a look
The writing's on the wall
You can't out-race your fate
What will be will always be
It seems the lessons are learned too late
I just can't understand
How this world is run
Politicians say war is bad
And then they hand me a gun
Ever since the world began
It seems it's always been the same
History books borne out the truth
That war is just a game
[Repeat chorus]
Yeah — they're learned too late
[Repeat chorus]
Yeah — they're learned too late
[Repeat chorus & fade]
