Sleater-Kinney | Lyrics | Faraway

7:30 A.M, nurse the baby on the couch
Then the phone rings
Turn on the TV, watch the world explode in flames
And don't leave the house

And the sky overhead is silent, waiting
Clear blue, holds its breath
And the heart is hit in a city far away
But it feels so close

Don't breathe the air today
(I'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down)
(And I fall down)
Don't speak of why you're afraid
(No other direction for this to go and we fall down)
(And we fall down)

Why can't I get along
Why can't I get along
Why can't I get along with you?

And the president hides
While working men rush in and give their lives
I look to the sky
And ask it not to rain on my family tonight

Don't breathe the air today
(I'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down)
(And I fall down)
Don't speak of why you're afraid
(No other direction for this to go and we fall down)
(And we fall down)

Why can't I get along
Why can't I get along
Why can't I get along with you?

Don't breathe the air today
(I'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down)
(And I fall down)
Don't speak of why you're afraid
(No other direction for this to go and we fall down)
(And we fall down)

Why can't I get along
Why can't I get along
Why can't I get along with you?
