End of the innocence
[00:25.11] Remember when the days were long
[00:29.10] And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
[00:34.15] Didn't have a care in the world
[00:37.33] With mommy and daddy standin' by
[00:41.58] But "happily ever after" fails
[00:45.30] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[00:49.82] The lawyers dwell on small details
[00:53.80] Since daddy had to fly
[00:57.79] Oh but I know a place where we can go
[01:02.30] That's still untouched by men
[01:06.55] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[01:10.01] And the tall grass waves in the wind
[01:14.26] You can lay your head back on the ground
[01:18.50] And let your hair fall all around me
[01:22.76] Offer up your best defense
[01:26.74] But this is the end
[01:30.99] This is the end of the innocence
[01:47.19] Oh, beautiful for spacious skies
[01:51.71] But now those skies are threatening
[01:55.96] They're beating plowshares into swords
[01:59.41] For this tired old man that we elected king
[02:04.46] Armchair warriors often fail
[02:07.38] And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
[02:11.90] The lawyers clean up all details
[02:15.88] Since daddy had to lie
[02:19.86] Oh, but I know a place where we can go
[02:24.65] And wash away this sin
[02:28.90] We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
[02:32.35] And the tall grass waves in the wind
[02:36.33] Just lay your head back on the ground
[02:40.85] And let your hair spill all around me
[02:45.10] Offer up your best defense
[02:48.82] But this is the end
[02:53.33] This is the end of the innocence
[03:30.52] Who knows how long this will last
[03:34.50] Now we've come so far, so fast
[03:38.75] But somewhere back there in the dust
[03:42.21] That same small town in each of us
[03:46.99] I need to remember this
[03:50.71] So baby give me just one kiss
[03:55.22] And let me take a long last look
[03:58.68] Before we say goodbye
[04:02.93] Just lay your head back on the ground
[04:06.91] And let your hair fall all around me
[04:11.43] Offer up your best defense
[04:15.41] But this is the end
[04:19.66] This is the end of the innocence
