Lyrics The The – Slow Emotion Replay

The more I see
The less I know
About all the things I thought were wrong or right
And carved in stone

So, don’t ask me about war
Religion, or God
Love, Sex, or Death
Because

Everybody knows what’s going wrong with the world
But I don’t even know what’s going on in myself

You’ve gotta work out your own salvation.
With no explanation
To this Earth we fall
On hands and knees we crawl

And we look up to the stars
And we reach out and pray
To a deaf, dumb and blind God
Who never explains

Everybody knows what’s going wrong with the world
But I don’t even know what’s going on in myself

Lord, I’ve been here for so long
I can feel it coming down on me
I’m just a slow emotion replay of somebody
I used to be
