Far Away

7:30am Nurse the baby on the couch Then the phone rings "Turn on the TV" Watch the world explode in flames And don't leave the house And the sky overhead Is silent, waiting Clear blue holds its breath And the heart is hit In a city far away But it feels so close Don't breathe the air today Don't speak of why you're afraid (Standing here on a one way road And I fall down, and I fall down No other direction for this to go And we fall down, and we fall down) Why can't I get along Why can't I get along Why can't I get along with you? And the president hides While working men rush in And give their lives I look to the sky And ask it not to rain On my family tonight Don't breathe the air today Don't speak of why you're afraid (Standing here on a one way road And I fall down, and I fall down No other direction for this to go And we fall down, and we fall down) Why can't I get along Why can't I get along Why can't I get along with you? Don't breathe the air today Don't speak of why you're afraid (Standing here on a one way road And I fall down, and I fall down No other direction for this to go And we fall down, and we fall down) Why can't I get along Why can't I get along Why can't I get along with you? --- Far Away - Sleater-Kinney
