Watch It Crash

Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear (whisper in my ear)
 Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
 And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared
 But it would linger on for years
 It said "We can't just blame it on our mothers
 Claim everything they did was always wrong"
 And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track
 And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
 And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
 And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
 So mercy, mercy, mercy me
 Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
 Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
 Mercy mercy me
 "We can't just blame it on our mothers
 Claim everything they did was always wrong"
 And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track
 And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
 And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
 And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
 So mercy, mercy, mercy me
 Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet
 Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe
 Mercy mercy me
 That's all they came for, that's all they took
 That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
 And when they realized we'd given all we could
 That's when they finally understood
 Mercy mercy mercy me
 Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see
 Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak
 Mercy mercy me
 "We can't quite blame it on our mothers
 Claim everything they did was always wrong"
 And there ain't no turning back when our train is off its track
 And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash)
 And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long
 And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
 Watch it crash, and there's nothing we can do but watch it crash
