lyrics

You won’t find the devil in the details
Or in the fine print
That makes your eyes squint
He is listing his services for sale
On the front page
Of the modern age
Stories of jesus christ and climate change, human rights and outer space
There are wars
That cannot be won
The damage is done, the lines are drawn, the factories closed, the robots turned on
Now every minute feels automatic
All the headlines blur together, stock markets, the five day weather
The forecast calls for truths to be told
Before attention spans grow too cold
To make it through the day, if you find history don’t throw it away
Let the past
Stand inside the light
Cause the devil is not hiding in the details
You got to look him in the eyes
And put up a fight

Raise your hands, boys and girls
If you’re worried about the end of the world

Turn your eyes from the tv screen that plays reruns of American dreams
When did it get so hard to wake up?

I’m searching high and low for hope and truth that shine in the fantasy of youth
No matter how the years may weigh us down

Open your eyes, say a prayer for everyone and everywhere
Now stare straight into the sun
The big one ain’t here yet
Our work is not done
