lyrics
In the cold streets of the city
It’s a new world, it’s a new day
In the jet planes on the cruise ships
It’s a new sky, it’s a new day
In the wheat fields, on the dirt roads
It’s a new world, it’s a new day
In the suitcase, in the closed trunk
It’s a new war, it’s a new day
If the battle hymn
Is nothing but a melody
To be harmonized
With the funeral keen
If it’s killing you
Every time it’s killing me
Why don’t we stop
This guillotine
In the crosswalks in the storm drains
It’s a new life, it’s a new day
On the rooftops where I held you
It’s a new year, it’s a new day
When your fellow man
Is nothing but an enemy
To be torn apart
By the way you feel
If it’s killing you
Every way it’s killing me
What are we gonna do
About this guillotine
Why don't we stop
If the battle hymn
Is nothing but a melody
To be harmonized
With the funeral keen
If it’s killing you
Every time it’s killing me
Why don’t we stop
This guillotine?
It’s a new world, it’s a new day
In the jet planes on the cruise ships
It’s a new sky, it’s a new day
In the wheat fields, on the dirt roads
It’s a new world, it’s a new day
In the suitcase, in the closed trunk
It’s a new war, it’s a new day
If the battle hymn
Is nothing but a melody
To be harmonized
With the funeral keen
If it’s killing you
Every time it’s killing me
Why don’t we stop
This guillotine
In the crosswalks in the storm drains
It’s a new life, it’s a new day
On the rooftops where I held you
It’s a new year, it’s a new day
When your fellow man
Is nothing but an enemy
To be torn apart
By the way you feel
If it’s killing you
Every way it’s killing me
What are we gonna do
About this guillotine
Why don't we stop
If the battle hymn
Is nothing but a melody
To be harmonized
With the funeral keen
If it’s killing you
Every time it’s killing me
Why don’t we stop
This guillotine?
