    Lyrics
    Sing us a song of the century
    That's louder than bombs
    And eternity
    The era of static and contraband
    That's leading us to the promised land
    Tell us a story that's by candlelight
    Waging a war and losing the fight

    They're playing the song of the century
    Of panic and promise and prosperity
    Tell me a story into that goodnight
    Sing us a song for me
