We hear every damn day
about our fragile country
every damn day
about the brink of catastrophe
and how it's a shame that we can't work together
the truth is
we do
we work together to get things done every damn day
every damn day
we work together every damn day
there will always be darkness
sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel isn't the promised land
it's just new jersey
the press can hold is magnifying glass up to our problems
bringing them into focus
or they can use it to set ants on fire
and then perhaps host a week of shows on the flaming ant epidemic
and every damn day
every damn day
we work together every damn day
there will always be darkness
sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel isn't the promised land
it's just new jersey
