7:30 am nurse the baby on the couch
  then the phone rings
  "Turn on the T.V."
  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
  Don't speak of why you're afraid
  (Standing here on a one way road
  and I fall down,
  no other direction for this to go
  so we fall down)
  WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG WITH YOU?
  And the president hides
  while working men rush in
  To give their lives
  I look to the sky
  and ask it not to rain
  On my family tonight
