Ten Ton Blues

Well I have these dreams at night Where the world is gonna end Cuz you know it's gonna happen It's just a case of when And you'll wake one early morning To the streets full of armed men I see it all in slow motion unfolding on the rolling news You can feel the tension growing and then somebody lights the fuse It don't matter who pulls the trigger first cuz everybody here is gonna lose If you think it's getting heavy now, I got the ten ton blues There's sirens across the city like a constant screaming sound And there's fires spreading quickly and smoke for miles around They won't be sweeping sawdust to cover all the blood spilled on the ground There's no method in the madness when the bombs come raining down Am I the only one that sees what's really going on? Am I the only one that sees what's really going wrong? With guns and ammunition and funds from the CIA They interrupt the transmission cuz the missiles are on their way And hindsight's 20/20 but foresight never seems to pay They won't be wheeling out the marching band at the cenotaph for this someday Am I the only one that sees what's really going on? Am I the only one that sees what's really going wrong?
