Where were you a week ago when we gathered in the courtyard?
Where were you when we sang and our song shook the ground?
Where were you a week ago when the church bells started swinging?
Where were you when they rang and angels came down?
You waste time like a grandfather clock
You waste time like a grandfather clock
And that's when we start counting sandbags
That's when we start counting sandbags
Where were you a week ago when the green line started growing
Where were you when it burst and spread green the crowd
Where were you a week ago when the red sun wasn't sinking
Where were you when it cracked and spread fire about
You waste time like a grandfather clock
You waste time like a grandfather clock
And that's when we start counting sandbags
That's when we start counting sandbags
You waste time like a grandfather clock
You waste time like a grandfather clock
And that's when we start counting sandbags
That's when we start counting sandbags
And if God did part the clouds
Do you think he'd be proud?
You waste time like a grandfather clock
You waste time like a grandfather clock
And that's when we start counting sandbags
That's when we start counting sandbags
You waste time like a grandfather clock
You waste time like a grandfather clock
And that's when we start counting sandbags
That's when we start counting sandbags
