They Way It's Always Been Lyrics - The Desired Effect - Brandon Flowers

They shut down the golden hotel 

Just because he says it won't be long till they blow it all to the hell 

She's standing in the front yard cut off the skins 

Me and her brother we been friends, since I can't remember when 

Ain't that the way that it's always been? 

Everybody sitting around waiting for the sun to come again 

A shift at the chemical plant, a white wedding dress 

I wake up every morning and I wonder if I'm gonna pass the test 

Just trying to live up to but she's got in mind 

Sometimes the pressure's so heavy I feel like leaving it all behind 

Ain't that the way that it's always been? 

Laying low just long enough for the dust to settle down 

The black and the white, the thick and the thin 

And hoping that He's really got the power to save us from these sins 

Everybody sitting around waiting for the sun to come again 

I took a long walk yesterday 

To a field where I used to play 

I saw myself in the corner of my mind 

I was twelve years old and blind 

To the big wheel and the grind 

Ain't that the way that it's always been? 

Standing at the water's edge waiting for the fog to clear 

Tackle or touch, you sink or you swim 

And hoping that he's really got the power to save us from these sins 

Everybody sitting around waiting for the sun to come again 

They're waiting for the sun to come again
