text: Sing us a song of the century
  Thats louder than bombs and eternity
  The era of static and contraband
  Leading us into the promised land
  Tell us a story thats by candlelight
  Waging a war and losing the fight
  Theyre playing a song of the century
  Panic and promise and prosperity
  Tell me a story into that goodnight
  Sing us a song for me...
