[verse 1]
several years ago i slept through an alarm
and i’ve been playing catch-up since
and every now and then the sight of my reflection
makes me stop and wince
how many deaths will it take till we know
too many people have died?
’cause i regret we haven’t got there yet
and time it isn’t on our side

[pre-chorus]
and i should hang up my guitar (hang up my guitar)
if i’ve got nothing new to say (nothing new to say)
it’s all been done before (it’s all been done before)
and better i am sure (better i am)
oh, i’ll be standing by the bar
wondering what to play
to try and change the world
where better songs have failed

[chorus]
and here i am again, hoping for a win
standing in the rain, soaking to the skin
looking for a change, though i’ve been listening
there’s no answer blowing in the wind

[verse 2]
several years ago i think i missed a train
and i’m still catching up the time
it doesn’t matter how quickly i’m going
i never reach the end of the line
how many times can a man turn his head
pretend he just doesn’t see
’cause i’m ashamed the times they haven’t changed
a better world was not to be

[pre-chorus]
and i should hang up my guitar (hang up my guitar)
if i’ve got nothing new to say (nothing new to say)
it’s all been done before (it’s all been done before)
and better i am sure (better i am)
oh, i’ll be standing by the bar
wondering what to play
to try and change the world
where better songs have failed

[chorus]
and here i am again, hoping for a win
standing in the rain, soaking to the skin
looking for a change, oh i’ve been listening
there’s no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind

[pre-chorus]
and i should hang up my guitar (hang up my guitar)
if i’ve got nothing new to say (nothing new to say)
it’s all been done before (it’s all been done before)
and better i am sure (better i am)
oh, i’ll be standing by the bar
wondering what to play
to try and change the world
where better songs have failed

[chorus]
and here i am again, hoping for a win
standing in the rain, soaking to the skin
looking for a change, oh i’ve been listening
there’s no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind
oh, there’s no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind
oh, there’s no answer (no answer) blowing in the wind
