Not What We Wanted

Now it sees that night is day 
My uneasy focus has slipped away 
Drunk from the poison cup 
Brings sheer relief to me 
Head full of the news 
Twenty-first century 

Bring along your old banjo 
I want to hear you play 
Gonna play an old sad song 
To blow away the day 
One that trips off the tongue 
I wanna hear what you say 
Everybody sing along 
Now everybody pray 

Because the fast time that we had 
It wasn't what we wanted 

Changing weather blows away 
But the slaughter and the showbiz 
These are here to stay
