Suddenly

Oooh, yeeah, oh oh oh
Suddenly

When vows get broken
Day by day
Like the windows of the old school
In the playground's gone away

The old man searches dustbins
To find his daily bread
He lives all day by nicotine
And the whiskeys catches his head

Sensation is a new drug
Dead bodies on TV
Time is flying by
Have you got the time for me?

The daily papers dirty
That keeps the cold man warm
The sky is cracked wide open
And it can't keep out the storm

Suddenly
It didn't happen suddenly
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh

Suddenly
It didn't happen suddenly
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh

No, no, don't take no more

Caught up in the cross-fire
And political expense
A child crying eyes appear
Behind the garden fence

He's searching for the freedom
He'd may never see
But the mother of two children
Needs a needle to be free

What's around the corner?
Why can't we see that far
Like the four teenage boys
Whose lives were stolen like a car

If the person's skin is coloured
He knows the word "abuse"
The time is going by so fast
Ignorance is no excuse

Suddenly
It didn't happen suddenly
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh

Suddenly
It didn't happen suddenly
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh

No, no, don't take no more

No, no, no, it happens suddenly

Recreate the feeling

The killing of a peasant

The residue from this morning's atomic detonation
Is drifting in the direction of St. George

Suddenly
It didn't happen suddenly
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh

Suddenly
It didn't happen suddenly
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh
