No Avalon lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics No Avalon lyrics no avalon I m just a white girl From a small, safe town What could I possibly know about destruction? My lawn sure looks green today Underneath these suburban skies But the little boy next door Wants to be the Lord of the Flies It s like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life It s hard to conceive why we let our brothers die My bed is so safe here And my rose-colored glasses, they re broken And how the truth leaks in And I, I can t imagine I saw it on the news tonight That they d announce his name I saw the blood on his hands And they told me to look away I tell ya it s like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life It s hard to conceive why we let our sisters die Why, why? Why? It s a confusing civilization, darling I tell ya It s like Cain and Able and the holy sacrifice And I have to believe that God has closed his eyes And if there is no Avalon and we only have one life It s hard to conceive why we let our people die We let em die And watch them die song lyrics
