TRAGEDY
Like a kid before Christmas, laid awake in my bed
While visions of losin' it danced slowly in my head
How could somethin' beautiful like that just rot and die
Man I don't know what miserable is, I just passed it by
Soon they'll be singin' and you won't even hear it
I saw this from a distance, we don't need no tragedy
You just would never listen, we don't need no tragedy
We don't need no tragedy
Pull yourself together kid, just open up your eyes
Some things don't last forever, I wish I could tell you why
Come on man you're better than this, trust me I would know
I remember bein' there about a year ago
Soon they'll be singin' and you won't even hear it
I saw this from a distance, we don't need no tragedy
You just would never listen, we don't need no tragedy
We still could make a difference, make this what it has to be
We don't need no tragedy
I used to fear no one, now I'm afraid of it all
And I can hear someone, what are you sayin'
I guess this was good timing, now there's voices in my head
I'm not a voice, I'm here to help, won't you just listen
Who are you and why're you here, this train is coming soon
I'm you a year from now, if you go I go too
Soon they'll be singin' and you won't even hear it
I saw this from a distance, we don't need no tragedy
You just would never listen, we don't need no tragedy
We still could make a difference, make this what it has to be
We don't need no tragedy
