Ryley Walker - "Primrose Green"

Lonely Chair

NOT JUST ROME
Words and Music Stephen Randall

I don’t know what we can say 
That hasn’t been said before
I don’t know what we can do
If we don’t want to face the truth
It seems to me
That our words won’t drown out the lies
It seems to me
That our tears won’t put out the fires

I don’t know what we can try
That hasn’t been tried before
And at the risk of repeating myself I say
We don’t want to face the truth
It seems to me  
(Bang our heads against the wall)
You can close your eyes and count to ten
It seems to me
(We whistle in the wind)
You can turn around and start again

CHORUS
And so they say
Nero played
While Rome was burning  
And so it goes
It’s not just Rome
That’s burning now
We can’t all fit
In a rocket ship
And fly to Mars no
And if we could
It surely wouldn’t 
Be better than here

I can’t sit in hope and pray
That tomorrow won’t be like today
But I don’t have a glass half full
You know I don’t have a glass at all
I ask myself
(Bang our heads against the wall)
How could I be so naive
I ask myself
(We whistle in the wind)
How could I be so wrong

CHORUS
And so they say
Nero played
While Rome was burning  
And so it goes
It’s not just Rome
That’s burning now
We can’t all fit
In a rocket ship
And fly to Mars no
And if we could
It surely wouldn’t be better than here
