Lyrics=
When I first met you
I didn't have a clue
if I was meeting her
or I was meeting you
the years have not been kind
but it shouldn't take that long
to see the course of history
and know where you went wrong
history is personal
just in a larger sense
to see what you've been up to
look at the evidence
it's not enough to follow
if you don't know where it leads
everyone gets something
according to their needs
No more angry prophets
or philosophers of stone
you've see the truth already
so leave the truth alone
if you get off the stage
the light will shine on you
in memory of your failure
to come up with something new
come up with something new!
When I first met you
the clouds all rolled away
to reveal the light behind them
you helped me find my way
people talk about survival
but it's more than they can know
you can't run out of something
if you don't cut off the flow
Everything is personal
and nothing means a thing
you can be driven like the devil
or you could learn to sing
I don't have a lot of answers
but my questions are so few
If you have the right answer
just one of them will do
No more angry prophets
or philosophers of stone
you've seen the truth already
so leave the truth alone
if you get off the stage
then the light will shine on you
in memory of your failure
to come up with something new
come up with something new!
God knows we need something new!
So... can we have something new?
something new...
something new...
