Tenpenny Joke Sirens
Did anybody read today about chemicals in the sky?
Will I decide to make a difference
If I save the trees in time and feed a child about to starve?
Who's hearing the sirens?
Who's hearing the sound of fear
The sound of bleeding sky
Now she sells herself to make it
Through the conscience of her mind
Though she's trying hard not to deny
It's coming back now magnified
And the papers all splash the same headline
Back to the scene of the crime
You'll never redesign my life
Back to the scene of the crime
All the evidence is mine
Who's hearing the sirens?
Who's hearing the sound of fear
The sound of bleeding sky
Who's hearing the sound of the times?
