Alex Lifeson - Distant Early Warning lyrics

[Verse 1] An ill wind comes arising Across the cities of the plain There's no swimming in the heavy water No singing in the acid rain Red alert [2x] It's so hard to stay together Pa**ing through revolving doors We need someone to talk to And someone to sweep the floors Incomplete [2x] [Chorus] The world weighs on my shoulders But what am I to do? You sometimes drive me crazy But I worry about you I know it makes no difference To what you're going through But I see the tip of the iceberg And I worry about you [Verse 2] Cruising under your radar Watching from satellites Take a page from the red book Keep them in your sights Red alert [2x] Left and rights of pa**age Black and whites of youth Who can face the knowledge That the truth is not the truth? Obsolete [2x] [Chorus][2x] [Outro] Absalom [3x]
