United Nations Songtext

von Dum Dums

In every lighted window,
There is a world unto it's own,
Billion separate people,
With their own specific caches,
Inventin' all those lifestyles,
And important job positions,
Shakin' hand and makin' friends,
Just playin' united nations.

Notice me, I'm vanishin'
I'm not just a cloud,
On your beautiful horizon,
I cut and bleed,
Can I feel like this,
If I don't exist,
When we're playin' united nations,

Cold meat bars and TV stars,
And empty conversations,
Someone new walks in the room,
And we're playin' united nations.

Sure beats kisses,
Thrown at champagne,
Professional obligations,
How can you commit yourself,
When you playin' united nations.

Notice me, oh I'm vanishin'
I'm not just a cloud,
On your beautiful horizon,
I cut and bleed,
Can I feel like this,
If I don't exist,
When we're playin' united nations,
Playin' united nations,
Playin' united nations.

I can't stand the atmosphere,
Of leavin' out my heart,
From the equation,
Such a world of disbelief,
And someone's gone and stolen our foundation,

It would be a better world,
If every thin' I wanted is in pieces,
Between the earth and street light,
Ghost invisible is standin' his ground between us.

Buildings tall and filled with sad men,
Apartments small and stacked with mad men,
My shelf are farin' nothin's sparin',
I have lost all patients,
Has anyone asked you how you feel,
Does anyone care if it's not real,
The world don't care,
It's like your not there,
It's just playin' united nations.

Notice me, I'm vanishin'
I'm not just a cloud,
On your beautiful horizon,
I cut and bleed,
Can I feel like this,
If I don't exist,
When we're playin' united nations,
Playin' united nations,
Playin' united nations,
Once again.
