Switchfoot - The Blues lyrics

Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear
Or just another desperation?

Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the Kingdom or just a hit and miss?
I miss direction
Most in all this desperation

Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

I'm singing this one like a
Broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken
Noses in the back is this the New Year
Or just another desperation?

You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
'Til you stand on the broken
Fields where your fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is nothing here worth saving? Is
No one here at all?
Is there any net left that
Could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor
And deserted are found

Are you discontented?
Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this
Broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is there nothing left now
Nothing left to sing? Are there any left who
Haven't kissed the enemy?
Is this the New Year
Or just another desperation?

Does justice ever find you?
Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to
Sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
'Til the world caves in
'Til the world caves in
'Til the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
