The Writing's On The Wall Lyrics


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]
