Lyrics
Several years ago I slept through an alarm And I've been playing catch-up since And every now and then the sight of my reflection Makes me stop and wince How many deaths will it take till we know Too many people have died? 'Cause I regret we haven't got there yet And time it isn't on our side And I should hang up my guitar (hang up my guitar) If I've got nothing new to say (nothing new to say) It's all been done before (it's all been done before) And better I am sure (better I am) Oh, I'll be standing by the bar Wondering what to play To try and change the world Where better songs have failed And here I am again, hoping for a win Standing in the rain, soaking to the skin Looking for a change, though I've been listening There's no answer blowing in the wind Several years ago I think I missed a train And I'm still catching up the time It doesn't matter how quickly I'm going I never reach the end of the line How many times can a man turn his head Pretend he just doesn't see 'Cause I'm ashamed the times they haven't changed A better world was not to be And I should hang up my guitar (hang up my guitar) If I've got nothing new to say (nothing new to say) It's all been done before (it's all been done before) And better I am sure (better I am) Oh, I'll be standing by the bar Wondering what to play To try and change the world Where better songs have failed And here I am again, hoping for a win Standing in the rain, soaking to the skin Looking for a change, oh I've been listening There's no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind And I should hang up my guitar (hang up my guitar) If I've got nothing new to say (nothing new to say) It's all been done before (it's all been done before) And better I am sure (better I am) Oh, I'll be standing by the bar Wondering what to play To try and change the world Where better songs have failed And here I am again, hoping for a win Standing in the rain, soaking to the skin Looking for a change, oh I've been listening There's no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind Oh, there's no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind Oh, there's no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind
