lyrics

There’s a fire in my kitchen
Where my microwave blew up
And there’s fires out on Main Street
Somebody’s lit up
And when the whole world has gone crazy
Nobody cares if you give up
But Delilah, Delilah knows the truth

That rough and ready officer
Dressed for the party lights
He knows that if he just skips town
No one would bat an eye
But if the whole world has gone crazy
No one cares who’s wrong or right
But Delilah, cause Delilah knows the truth

It’s gonna be alright she said
As the bullets went by her head
Some people would like us dead
But they never listened to what she said

Man, if some profits ever come down
Wouldn’t we be ashamed
If they knew what we’ve been up to
If they knew us by our names
But if the whole world has gone crazy
Then they must also be insane
We’d have to stick them in a cell somewhere
On a cold asylum day
Cause we know what they’ve been up to
Trying to take it all away
And you know there’s fifty profits
just in cell block number eight
And if the whole world has gone crazy
We don’t care what they’d have to say
But Delilah’s in their corner
As she gets down and starts to pray

It’s gonna be alright she said
As the bullets went by her head
Some people would like us dead
But they never listened, they never listened

So we run over the river, we run right through the woods.
Grandma’s house is somewhere and my arms are finally loose
Delilah brings me water, makes me feel real fine
Cause when the whole world has gone crazy
And there’s nobody outside
Except the doubters and the skeptics
The magicians and the blind
Who can’t understand the weight
And won’t leave it all behind
But Delilah writes me letters,
Cause Delilah sees the light.

It’s gonna be alright she said
As the bullets went by her head
Some people would like us dead
But they never listened, they never listened
It’s gonna be alright she said
As the bullets went by her head
Some people would like us dead
But they never listened,
they never listened to what she said
