White Russian

Where do we go from here?
 Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
 Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
 They boarded up the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner
 You can't take a photograph of Uzis on a street corner
 The DJ resigned today they wouldn't let him have his say
 Surface scratched where the needles play, Uzis on a street corner
 Where do we go from here
 Terror in Rue de St. Denis, murder on the periphery
 Someone else in someone else's pocket
 Christ knows I don't know how to stop it
 Poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can't afford to laugh
 I heard in on the telegraph there's Uzis on a street corner
 Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
 The more I see, the more I hear, the more I find fewer answers
 I close my mind, I shout it out but you know it's getting harder
 To calm down, to reason out, to come to terms with what it's all about
 I'm uptight, can't sleep at night, I can't pretend everything's all right
 My ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting me
 But to stand up and fight I know we have six million reasons
 They're burning down the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner
 The heralds of the holocaust, Uzis on a street corner
 The silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vows
 This resurrection we can't allow, Uzis on a street corner
 Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
 We buy fresh bagels from the corner store
 Where swastikas are spat from aerosols
 I sit in the bar sipping iced White Russian
 Trying to score but nobody's pushing
 And everyone looks at everyone's faces
 Searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence
 Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence
 Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home
 We place our faith in human rights
 In the paper wars that tie the red tape tight
 I know that I would rather be out of this conspiracy
 In the gulags and internment camps frozen faces in nameless ranks
 I know that they would rather be standing here besides me
 Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home
 You can shut your eyes, you can hide it away it's gonna come back another day
 Racing the clouds home, are we racing the clouds home
 Racing the clouds home
