Hell Lyrics

No I'm not ready for big bad step in the direction
No I'm not ready for downtown trash before collection
Four blocks, run and hide
Don't walk around at night
Cityscape city change before they die
Four blocks I should mention in a song
If I want to get along to change
Who doesn't want to change this?

I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Uh oh, oh no, uh oh, oh no

No we're not ready for fair distribution
Just determine the solution for
No we're not ready for hell, hell, no, for hell, hell, no
Four days wide awake wide slide along and say
Girl's afraid, girl will change, just move away
Four days that I mention in a song move along
Get ahead, get her hand to bring home with you

I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Uh oh, oh no, uh oh, oh no

Four ways to remove all the bad that we do
From the heart and the soul of the city, sad and cold
Four ways to collect what we say and what we save
To discard and discover a brand new way

I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them

I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know you feel it too
It all seems so untrue
When you get up and over it and over them
Uh oh, oh no, uh oh, oh no
Uh oh, oh no, uh oh, oh no
