Píseň: Until The Day Is Done

Interpret:
R.E.M.
Album:
Accelerate
The battle's been lost, the war is not won 
An addled republic, a bitter refund 
The business first flat earthers licking their wounds 
The verdict is dire, the country's in ruins 


Providence blinked, facing the sun 
Where are we left to carry on 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done 


As we've written our stories to entertain 
These notions of glory and bull market gain 
The teleprompt flutters, the power surge brings 
An easy speed message falls into routine 


Providence blinked, facing the sun 
Where are we left to carry on 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done 


A voice whispers "Son, 
The blessed vision comes." 
What have I done 
What have I done 


So hold tight your babies and your guns 
Forgive us our trespasses, father and son 


Providence blinked, facing the sun 
Where are we left to carry on 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done 
Until the day is done
