Modern English
Black Houses
Sunday morning, the sun is shining, peacefully
Ball games in the park, joyfully
The car's being cleaned again, the grass is mowed
A sudden feeling, the wind is building, the clouds are forming

I try to move
I try to think
I try to live

The format changes, the colours different, breathing in
Concentrating, the scene is blurring, touch my skin
Turned the tap off, stumble backwards, my mind exploded
A distant rumbling, my body's aching, my eyes are burning

I try to move
I try to think
I try to live

White houses last longer
They go in the end
Let’s keep them up
Surround yourself with light
Go to the baby in a black house
Read all the pamphlets, read all the pamphlets
Read all the pamphlets, read all the pamphlets
Move to the coast
Keep to your community, keep to your community
Keep to your community, keep to your community
You can't take it with you
Religion can't help, religion can't help
Religion can't help, religion can't help
Sunday morning, the sun is shining, peacefully
Ball games in the park, joyfully
The car's being cleaned again, the grass is mowed
A sudden feeling, the wind is building, the clouds are forming

I try to move
I try to think
I try to live
