Sun rises above the factory,
But the rays don’t make it to the street.
Beaten down and dragging their feet.
Two people on the pavement will never be the same again.
When she placed it in his hand,
Others must have seen the sparks.
Neither understands
What just happened to their hearts.
Another morning of this place
Just ripping out our dreams,
Realizing life’s a waste
As the whistle blows off steam.
One thing about it all is
Nothing’s ever gonna change.
It’s like our progress has just stalled and
Everyday's the same.
“She placed it in my hand.”
Co-workers see the sparks.
“I couldn’t understand
What just happened to my heart.”
“Hello, my name is David.
Your name is Veronica.
Let’s be together;
Let’s fall in love.
Hello, my name is David.
Your name is Veronica --
Let’s be together
Till the stars go out.”
All we need is
For something to give:
The dam bursts open;
We suddenly live.
“The boot off my throat...
Life is returning!
The boot off my throat...
Let’s all emote!”
Dawn breaks across this town
And a new dawn breaks for me.
I couldn’t take the pains of the underclass,
Trying to smile through gritted teeth.
We must now all join up and throw off the
Shackles of shame.
United, we can’t be defeated.
They shall hear us proclaim,
"I placed it in his hand.
I couldn’t understand
What happened to my heart."
"Hello, your name is David.
I am Veronica.
Let’s be together
Until the water swallows us.
Hello, you must be David.
I am Veronica --
Let’s be together
Until we’re all finally crushed."
