5000 Years - Dont Know Cant Tell Lyrics

Our carpets are worn and all our curtains torn. 

But the mood carries on,
and on and on beyond, till it's gone. 

It seems like five thousand years
have come and gone 

And still it's left undone.





In
circles and space, the vast inhuman race 

The strain will show, when
empty breezes blow, going no place. 

It seems like five thousand years
have come and gone 

And still it's left undone.

Is it where we wanted to go?


Well who's to know. 

The jackal and the fox, won't spoil your

But you reap what you sow, that's how it goes. 

We made the bed
and look where it's led. 

Is it where we wanted to go, well who's to know


Who's to know, who's to know, who's to know ... ?



No one
dares to walk along the boulevard 

In case they catch you off your guard


When the lights are off and there is no one there 

Then they catch
you unawares. 

Nervousness is showing in the whites of your eyes 

Suspicious of the other guy 

Talking is a luxury that you can't afford


When everybody's paranoid. 



It seems like
