When every word has been written
And every line has been read
When every person cries for justice
When every partner drops dead

When every loss has been suffered
When every war has been fought
When every son's been laid to rest
When every lesson has been taught

Spoken: "and this is the moment when you will
make your impact...An intensity found in your
life when you make a real and profound differ-
ence...Seize it , seize it...Rise up."

When all the actors take a last bow
When all big deals have all gone down
When every cynic has [bad word] us
when every mother screams out loud...

There's nothing left to ask for
There's nothing left to say
The same old songs are playing again
Just like it's yesterday

There's nothing left to hope for
There's nothing left to be
It's all been done before
But maybe I'll wait right here and see

There's nothing left but boredom
There's nothing left but pain
There's nothing to do
'cause the suffering lasts
As it keeps you in it's wake

I'd like to make a difference
Yes, I'd like to make one try
But who the [bad word] am I fooling?
There's barely time enough to die...
