Lyrics
(chorus)
I’m not making this up.
The whole world is breaking down.
No one is taking this cup
From us this time around.
(verse 1)
Famines, earthquakes, disease;
Still we all fake wellness.
Frightened leaves, shaking trees –
No savior dwells among us
Misguided patriots
Short-sighted terrorists
Flat-broke philanthropists
We are betrayed by a kiss
(chorus)
I’m not making this up.
The whole world is breaking down.
No one is taking this cup
From us this time around.
(verse 2)
Honest men all lie dead
Murdered by the truth
Someone got inside their head
Plucked an eye and pulled a tooth
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
Turn toward the Easter skies
Justice is blind but not deaf
It hears all those wounded cries
(chorus)
I’m not making this up.
The whole world is breaking down.
No one is taking this cup
From us this time around.
(verse 3)
Under the circumstances
Is not where you want to live
Step out, start taking chances
You’ll get back more than you give
So near and yet so far
So clear and yet so dark
So new and yet so old
So true and yet so cold
High crimes in high places
Low-life drug suppliers
They’re all the same faces
These sellers and buyers
Streaking as they revel
Clothed in their birthday suits
High-fiving the devil
They’re his latest recruits
(bridge)
No one is taking this cup
From us
This
Time around
Long ago, far away,
The Man stood on a hill
So fervently he prayed
The cup is with us still
Long ago, far away,
The Father and Son spoke
And right around that day
The lock to Heaven broke
