Matt Hoyles - Lord Tell Me When

A storm is coming
Can't you feel it raging on and on
Keep on running
But you just can't get away from what you've done
Can't feed your soul on the black gold
That you sold it for
Will the wells that you drill
Quench your thirst or will
The poison turn to ash in your mouth

Lord tell me when
Lord tell me when
When will we learn
When will we learn
That money can't buy, money can't buy back
Money can't buy back
The world that we've burned
The world that we've burned

A storm is coming
And pretty soon we'll all be drowning in the flood
Unless we start realizing
The storm ain't raging in the clouds above
Won't raise your hand to help no man
But you'll raise a gun
And if you could wash all the guilt from your hands
Pretty soon we'd be drowning in blood

Lord tell me when
Lord tell me when
When will we learn
When will we learn
That money can't buy, money can't buy back
Money can't buy back
The world that we've burned
The world that we've burned

Mr business man, you're standing at the storm front
Sailing a ship that you don't know how to steer
Powered by profit, but you don't heed the only
Prophet that you need to hear
Mr tax man, you're taking all my money
Can't afford to pay my bills
And while you're at it, why don't you remind everybody
To take the medication that makes them ill

Tell me when
Lord tell me when
When will we learn
When will we learn
That money can't buy, money can't buy back
Money can't buy back
The world that we've burned
The world that we've burned
This world's gonna burn
When will we learn
That you'll burn, burn, burn, burn
That money can't buy, money can't buy back
Money can't buy back
This world's gonna burn
This world's gonna burn
But we've got a change on the way
