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 n' miss?
A misdirection, 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
From broken arms an' broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

You're pushing till you're shoving
You bend until you break
Till you stand on the broken fields where our 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

There's 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 hasn't kiss the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

Does justice never find you? Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?

And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till 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

Switchfoot The Blues Comments
  1. F.... F....

    As above so below? The buried plane. Nothing is sound written in blood? I've always like Switchfoot...and I've listened to these guys in interviews...they seem more likely to be on the level (for those who understand my meaning) than most "artists" who've obtained some "fame". That is an intriguing album cover...

  2. D.... H....

    I just got 4 ads before the video started

    D.... H....

    but you listened to a great song in the end

  3. C.... S....

    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 n' miss?
    A misdirection, most in all this desperation

    Is this what they call freedom?
    Is this what you call pain?
    Is this what they call discontented fame?
    You're pushing till you're shoving
    You bend until you break
    Till you stand on the broken fields where our 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
    There's 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?

  43. J.... E....

    bomb song. nuf' said
