Stonewalling

On the street there’s a house on fire

Children ran right out to see what’s going on

A little girl can see her things in flames

Her mother’s standing there

and watching their home disappear

Ten minutes later there are cars and cameras

The TV teams are quick enough

To catch the tears

That day I’ll sit around a favorite place

The TV’s on, the house on fire wakes my fears

Stonewalling, stonewalling, you’re stonewalling

Stonewalling, you’re stonewalling, stonewalling

Don’t make me feel I’m down falling

Stonewalling, stonewalling, you’re stonewalling

Stonewalling, I’m stonewalling, stonewalling

Don’t make me feel I’m down falling

They just accentuate the negative

Why can’t they see

The glass in half full not empty

Turning over ashes, happy news is no excuse

It’s just a light to cheer you up

When the stock price crashes

Every minute someone falls in love

Every day we’re calling on grace and you tell me

That I’m falling on my face

But on the ground in the sand

I can see a chance

Stonewalling, stonewalling, you’re stonewalling

Stonewalling, you’re stonewalling, stonewalling

Don’t make me feel I’m down falling

Stonewalling, stonewalling, you’re stonewalling

Stonewalling, I’m stonewalling, stonewalling

Don’t make me feel I’m down falling

Ooooh, why they do what they do

My world’s upside down

No matter how I try, and I try

I can’t touch the ground

Ooooh, why they do what they do

My world’s upside down

No matter how I try, and I try

I can’t touch the ground

Stonewalling, stonewalling, you’re stonewalling

Stonewalling, you’re stonewalling, stonewalling

Don’t make me feel I’m down falling

Stonewalling, stonewalling, you’re stonewalling

Stonewalling, I’m stonewalling, stonewalling

Don’t make me feel I’m down falling
