The Slums of Atlantis

I forget myself
I smile a bit too long
A woman flees inside her car to pray.
By the morning light
Things don't look so bad
But I know that nothing's really changed
In the slums of Atlantis the lovers tidy up
And realize they've been watching the news
4,000 dead in Arabia, 4,000 dead at home
And they wonder what the hell THEY are going to do.
Up upon the hill
Where God's laws come down
They're trying to determine which side you're on
This line is for War
That line is for Peace
But everybody's going the same place
Into the slums of Atlantis where the businessmen wake up
And realize they got a lot of work to do
4,000 sold in Suburbia, there should be two in every home
And he cleared out his calendar just to meet with you
In the towers of Atlantis the presidents trade jabs
And talk about everything but me and you

You wanna know your mind
but it's not happening
You try to know your heart
but you're not listening
You must be thinking,
You must be thinking of somebody else
You like to disappear
in a cloud of magician's smoke
Come on like you're so sincere
As if you can take a joke
You must be thinking, you must be drinking...
Do you hear what I hear?
A hundred Babels every time you raise your voice
You don't get, you don't get to feel good
For doing the right thing
When you had no choice
And when we come in last
We'll both pretend it was becessary
It might seem like a gas
But I'm not your canary.
You must be slippin'
You must be trippin'
You must be thinking of somebody else
