The Great Regression Songtext
von Counterpunch

How can you sleep next to me
So pleasantly and so peacefully
Knowing what I know?
Knowing what I know
Today it seems our lives will be
Shortened by poor philosophy
Can you hear me now?
Don′t you let me down

We can only watch and wonder
As moments pass us by (Moments pass us by)
And the spirit's so electric
I think I know why

I′ve got nothing that you want
Nothing that you need
Waiting for the sweet disaster in between
Let's plant the seed of doubt between us both
Trampling on our four-leaf clovers
Instead of looking down, let's work it out


You′re taking aim on your sworn enemies
But you spot the author to check your greed
Don′t let me down
Don't you let me down
Careful the trigger now, can you
On an honest play that feels at home?
The build-up is killing me
Somebody please break this scene

We can only watch and wonder
As moments pass us by (Moments pass us by)
And the spirit′s so electric
I think I know why

I've got nothing that you want
Nothing that you need
Waiting for the sweet disaster in between
Let′s plant the seed of doubt between us both
Trampling on our four-leaf clovers
Instead of looking down, let's work it out

I′ve got nothing that you want
Nothing that you need
Waiting for the sweet disaster in between
Let's plant the seed of doubt between us both
Trampling on our four-leaf clovers
Instead of looking down


I've got nothing that you want
Nothing that you need
Waiting for the sweet disaster in between
Let′s plant the seed of doubt between us both
Trampling on our four-leaf clovers
Instead of looking down, let′s work it out
Let's work it out
