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
