Lyrics for New World

There's blood in the dust where the city's heart beats The children play games that they take from the streets How can you teach when you've so much to learn? May you turn, may you turn, may you turn, may you turn May you turn, may you turn in your grave new world? There is hate in your eyes, I have seen it before Planning destruction behind the locked door Were you the coward who fired the last shot? May you rot, may you rot, may you rot, may you rot May you rot, may you rot in your grave new world? There is death in the air with the lights growing dim As those who survive sing a desperate hymn Pray that God grants you one final request May you rest, may you rest, may you rest, may you rest May you rest, may you rest in your grave new world?
