Windows

 well I used to think I had purpose

That gave me reason or rhyme

I used to think I could purchase

All I could buy of your time

But now it all seems so worthless

Just like a river of slime

Oh youth is all out to hurt us cos

I'm starting to run out of time


Nothing means what it says and

Nothing really is crime

When justice is a burnt olive branch

I keep getting handed time after time

Might it is like a sand castle

That the sea washes away in its tides

And Power is like a toy sail ship

That's adrift down the river or rhine


Come show me back to my own lands

I don't want to die on this hill

Many heroes have come here before us

And I've no doubt many more will

There is no vacuum between us

Except the one that our silence would kill

Oh I'm running in circles and the window cleaners

Can't wipe the stain from the sill
