lyrics

I loved you in December, when the sun was soft and gray
The silver sheets of light consoled the darkness of the day
And I would love to see that beauty now, but the world gets in the way
The world gets in the way, the world gets in the way

They're marching at the capitol, the righteous and the right
The anarchists in blackface and the armies of the night
And yes, the people shall be lifted, or at least that's what they say
Until the world gets in the way, the world gets in the way

And all the choirs of friendly fire are screaming to take the stage
For human worth, for peace on earth, for romance and for rage
Of course we'd all be Joans of Arc, but for that spark that darks the day
And the world gets in the way, the world gets in the way

They're still sweeping up the streets at dawn, the crowd has gone away
And the papers on the porches speak the darkness of the day
Still we will lift our hands to heaven, though the world gets in the way
The world gets in the way, the world gets in the way
