lyrics

FACE IN A LONG LONG LINE
VERSE 1:
There’s a picket line on the lawn
Families screamin, lives are torn
There’s nowhere left to go
Along with everyone you know

Rumours turn to tears
Nightly news relays the fears
Now who can hold the torch
Who can stand and keep watch

CHORUS:
Now I don’t know what to say this time
Just a face in a long long line
Who’s to say, that we’ll be doing fine
You know it never was in us to call it time

VERSE 2:
So many had stood tall
Spent years inside those walls
Now the gates are all locked down
With the heart of this town

Should we have seen the move
Those who knew were hiding clues
The handshakes still go on
It burns deep when we got none

VERSE 3:
Page One was holding true
A week later just old news
If there’s one thing I’ve found
This world keeps spinning round

Some are staring at the stars
Some are moving, packing cars
There were those who couldn’t leave
The ones who refused to believe
