New World Lyrics - Grave Dancer's Union - Soul Asylum

Lives in a little lonely town 

No one's around except for the drinking 

Nobody ever gets around 

But those who leave the township sinking 

May you rot in heaven 

Gotta be home by seven 

And the field burns away 

The sky breathes it in 

So why sit and wait for the new world to begin 

I'm comin' out across your border 

With new orders for you to take 

I'd really like to take out your daughter 

Down in the water, down by the lake 

When the cold water's on her skin 

I can feel how long it's been 

And the neighbors will all be there 

And no one will know what to wear 

So why sit and wait for the world to begin 

I got a lot I gotta do 

Just to get through the end of the day 

It hardly ever even happens 

But I go to sleep the same anyway 

And you can't believe in yourself 

You can't believe in anyone else 

So why sit and wait for the new world to begin
