[Verse 1]
The battle's been lost, the war is not won
An addled republic, a bitter refund
The business first flat earthers licking their wounds
The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins
[Chorus]
Providence blinked, facing the son
Where are we left to carry on?
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
[Verse 2]
So we've written our stories to entertain
These notions of glory and bull market gain
The teleprompt flutters, a power surge brings
An easyspeak message falls into routine
[Chorus]
Providence blinked, facing the son
Where are we left to carry on?
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
[Verse 3]
A voice whispers, "Son"
The blessed vision comes
What have I done? What have I done?
So hold tight your babies and your guns
Forgive us our trespasses, Father and Son
[Chorus]
Providence blinked, facing the son
Where are we left to carry on?
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
Until the day is done
