What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The visitors find the children gone from school:
2
Aged relations sling their guns across the desks...
3
There'll be no break-time for them unless
4
They talk about tomorrow
5
As though it's already on its way.
6
Amen, oh yes, they're
7
Waiting for the breakthrough in time.
8
The visitors hide no aces up their sleeves
9
And the classroom pulses to many different drums.
10
If only a breakthrough in time would come
11
There'd be some chance for the visited ones.
12
We could talk about tomorrow
13
As though we believed in that.
14
We could talk about it right now,
15
And it would come as a shock
16
To feel the fingernail grow on the trigger finger -
17
Still the visitors clock us
18
Waiting for the breakthrough,
19
Waiting for the breakthrough
20
With time on our hands.
21
(It's there all the time.)
