if tomorrow ever comes
And if tomorrow ever comes we'll buy ourselves new boots and coats; We'll set things straight with all our friends. (and I'm still waiting) And if tomorrow ever comes we'll send a check to the old man; We'll have the time to make amends. (and I'm still waiting) And if tomorrow ever comes we'll learn to like to be deceived We'll watch ourselves on video. (and I'm still waiting) And if tomorrow ever comes we'll curse the day we were conceived We'll wish that we had never known. (and I'm still waiting) No shoulder, no shoulder No shoulder to cry on We'll know how small we really are We'll be amazed we've come this far We'll rip the blinders from our eyes and truly see You'll resurrect the crucifix atop a church of blackened sticks We'll hope that we deserve to die unholy And if tomorrow ever comes, maybe we'll get an explanation I'm living in the shadow of your glorious truth You played in the sunshine and dabbled in truth Now what have you given me to remember you by But hazy excuses and handful of lies And if tomorrow ever comes they'll make us sorry we were young But we'll be satisfied and fed And if tomorrow ever comes they'll make us speak with just one tongue We'll think of things we should have said. (and I'm still waiting) No shoulder, no shoulder No shoulder to cry on. We'll set ablaze the ship of fools We'll drive the vermin from our schools We'll drag them screaming to the dark and smoking street The crutch of vanity will crack Beneath the burdens on your backs As you are forced to torch the temples of conceit And if tomorrow ever comes, maybe we'll get an explanation Everything was easier when you had your time You've taken my innocence and now you want my prime Don't look so disappointed at my distrust Because you've taken everything... Except my disgust And if tomorrow ever comes...
