lyrics

Why is it so hard to love?
It’s a miracle that we’re here at all
Why is it so hard to love?

Walking down Broadway minding myself,
Suddenly I’m hearing highway to hell
Stop dead in my tracks and look round in the crowd
Nobody else hears a sound

My silver fillings are sometimes receivers,
First time it happened i thought it was Jesus
Funny the things that can lead to salvation,
Holes in my teeth and a radio station

Sometimes it’s news with the who’s killing who
And a tally you can’t even fathom
Slump to the curb and just sing out the words
When they spin a familiar anthem

Why is it so hard to love?
It’s a miracle that we’re here at all
Why is it so hard to love?

One quiet night I hear, hello out there?
Don’t think you’d ever believe where I’m from
I found a way to send radio waves
Through the space and time continuum

You might be wondering if we did ourselves in
With plutonium and light sabres
Or could it be true that we learned and we grew
And our enemies became our neighbours
Our tanks and our bombs and our bombs and our guns
Completed rehabilitation
And no one remembered the words to a song
That just spun itself out of rotation

Why is it so hard to love?
It’s a miracle that we’re here at all
Why is it so hard to love?
