Lookin' through the window, everything seems like yesterday, morning news on the radio, I hear what the world has got to say Sittin' in the kitchen, early morning coffee and cigarette, reading the newspapers, front page filled with horrible contents (Chorus): Hell is rising, said an ugly old man world is sinking in a dark black hole Cold sweat's on my T-shirt, so hot outside, but still I shiver, afraid to eat my dinner, no not a bite god knows what's inside A child next door starts cryin', it's not a good sign somebody stop him, a night drive through the city, I saw a friend who's beggar and I feel pity
