Out in the cold Like a bundle of coal Little packets of darkness Wanting to glow Well there's nobody home And there's a wreck in the yard And maybe they're coming back If we wish really hard If we wish real hard, now Won't somebody please come up with something 'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working And all of the rest are really down in the ratings But everyone is gonna keep on waiting Waiting for peace At the end of our streets Back behind our apartments In our passenger seats Just a moment of prayers Of all of the ways The despair and oblivion Of our precarious race It's ours to face now Won't somebody please come up with something 'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially workin' And all of the rest are really down in the ratings But everyone is gonna keep on waiting Now I know nothing lasts forever So we might as well wish for a goddamn fix Of this toxic change in weather Now tell me, won't somebody please come up with something 'Cause Jesus just don't seem to be impartially workin' And all of the others can barely stay in the runnin' But everyone is still right here waiting Won't somebody please come up with something Won't somebody please come up with something Won't somebody please
