Old Soul Song (for the New World Order) Lyrics

Grey like new day leaks through the window
and some old song comes on the alarm clock radio.
We walk the forty blocks to the middle
of the place we heard where everything would be
and there were barracades to keep us off the street,
but the crowd kept pushing forward until they swallowed the police.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
D (D:5 4) Bm (A:5 4) G A D
D (D:5 4) Bm (A:5 4) G A D
We left before the dust had time to settle
and all the broken glass swept off the avenue.
On the way home I held your camera like a bible,
wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth.
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room,
you dropped the paper in the water and it all begins to bloom.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Just when I get so lonesome I can't speak,
I see some flowers on a hill side, like a wall of new TVs.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
Yeah, they went wild.
