Letra de Hope Dies Last

The alarm goes off and you hit the shower first
I make the coffee, it?s a routine we rehearsed
Turn the radio on and it?s wishing us a happy new year
But nothing much has changed here
Another suicide bomb in a market in the Middle East
And the authorities estimate 28 dead at least
Sense soaked with martyrs blood and mothers tears
And nothing much has changed here
And the whole country?s holding those poor miners in it?s prayers
Counting down how long they?ve gone without him
The reporter does his best to sound sincere
But nothing much has changed here
Now there?s a man of god saying something about New Orleans
How the Mississippi river no washed the sinners clean
Oh the righteous pray on ignorance and fear
Oh nothing much has changed here
But there?s a storm comin? up fast
Better lass yourself to the mast
What have all becomes to past
Hope dies last
Politicians pointed fingers like they always do
When there?s a scandal loomin? larger in the rear view
When elections may be closer than they appear
Oh nothing much has changed here
And in the eyes of the president, citizens are enemies
He?d rather talk to Jesus than to anyone who disagrees
With the phones involved in Big Brother is all he hears
Oh nothing much has changed here
And there?s a storm comin? up fast
Better lass yourself to the mast
What have all that comes to past
Hope dies last
Sometimes it?s all that you can do to avert your eyes
If you let too much in, it will leave you paralysed
It?s a world where all your love disappears
So I take you in my arms before you leave for work
I got a love for you so fierce and true it hurts
And you smile at something that I whisper in your ear
Oh nothing much has changed
Baby nothing much has changed
And nothing?s ever gonna change?here
