[Verse 1]
When the white sun rises tomorrow
The whole world will hear our glorious screaming end
Punctuated by hissing insects
The sweat of our brow and our lifeblood will water a new crop

[Pre-Chorus]
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
So everybody'll know

[Chorus]
We don't have to hide those demons of accident, no
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Hold your children close
Tell them to quiet down
Tell them to close their eyes
It's time for good children to dream
We'll keep our dreams tucked in our chest
Where they'll always be safe

[Pre-Chorus]
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
So everybody'll know
[Chorus]
We don't have to hide those demons of accident, no
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow

[Bridge]
Ooh, I loved you
Ooh, I've tried
Ooh, I loved you
Ooh, I've tried
Though I fear to die

[Pre-Chorus]
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
I roll back the tape
So everybody'll know

[Chorus]
We don't have to hide those demons of accident, no
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
We just have to try, try, try, try for tomorrow
