R.E.M. - Until the Day Is Done lyrics

The battle's been lost, the war is not won
An addled republic, a bitter refund
The business first flat earthers
Licking their wounds
The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins

Providence blinked, facing the sun
Where are we left to carry on?
Until the day is done until the day is done

As we've written our stories to entertain
These notions of glory and bull market gain
The teleprompt flutters
The power surge brings
An easy speed message falls into routine

Providence blinked, facing the sun
Where are we left to carry on?
Until the day is done until the day is done

A voice whispers son
The blessed vision comes
What have I done? What have I done?
So hold tight your babies and your guns
Forgive us our trespasses, Father and Son

Providence blinked, facing the sun
Where are we left to carry on?
Until the day is done until the day is done
Until the day is done until the day is done
Until the day is done until the day is done
