Everybody’s going to the movies, everybody’s leaving for the show,
Seems as if we’ve lost the nerve for feeling, and no one’s in the mood to want to know.
I got news for you: this is not a game,
I got news for you – are you listening?
I’ve got news for you: we are all the same,
And when that is understood we can start to live again,
When that is understood we can start to live again.
Can you look inside yourself and tell me that your emptiness is just a state of mind?
You’ll feel better if you just keep moving, if you leave your feelings all behind.
Oh, I got news for you: this is not a game,
I got news for you – are you listening?
I’ve got news for you: we are all to blame,
And when that is understood we can start to live again,
Oh yes, when that is understood we can start to live again.
Oh, start to live again,
Oh, people, tell me, where have we been?
Ever feel as if your heart was whispering, like a special voice you never heard before?
And something deep inside your soul was ticking, as if someone was pounding on the door.
Ooh, I’ve got news for you: this is not a game,
I got news for you – are you listening?
I got news for you: we are all the same,
I got news for you: we are all the blame,
I got news for you: this is not a game,
And when that is understood we can start to live again,
Oh yes, when that is understood we can start to live again.
Hey,
Start to live again.
I said, yeah,
Oh yeah.
When that is understood.
Oh yes, when that is understood we can start to live again.
Yeah, yeah,
Start to live again,
Yeah, ooh,
When that is understood, start to live again,
Start to live again,
(etc. fade)
