Tragedy - The Scissors

TRAGEDY

Like a kid before Christmas, laid awake in my bed

While visions of losin' it danced slowly in my head

How could somethin' beautiful like that just rot and die

Man I don’t know what miserable is, I just passed it by Soon they’ll be singin' and you won’t even hear it I saw this from a distance, we don’t need no tragedy

You just would never listen, we don’t need no tragedy

We don’t need no tragedy

Pull yourself together kid, just open up your eyes

Some things don’t last forever, I wish I could tell you why

Come on man you’re better than this, trust me I would know

I remember bein' there about a year ago

Soon they’ll be singin' and you won’t even hear it I saw this from a distance, we don’t need no tragedy

You just would never listen, we don’t need no tragedy

We still could make a difference, make this what it has to be We don’t need no tragedy

I used to fear no one, now I’m afraid of it all

And I can hear someone, what are you sayin'

I guess this was good timing, now there’s voices in my head

I’m not a voice, I’m here to help, won’t you just listen

Who are you and why’re you here, this train is coming soon

I’m you a year from now, if you go I go too

Soon they’ll be singin' and you won’t even hear it I saw this from a distance, we don’t need no tragedy

You just would never listen, we don’t need no tragedy

We still could make a difference, make this what it has to be We don’t need no tragedy
