The Blackout Lyrics
Dinosaur
Wonders why it still walks the Earth, yeah
A meteor, promises it's not gonna hurt, yeah
Earthquakes always happen when you're in bed, Fred
The house shakes, maybe it was something I said, Ned
Go easy on me, easy on me, Brother
Go easy on me, easy on me, Brother
When the lights go out
And you throw yourself about in the darkness
Where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don't you ever doubt
The light that we can really be
Statues fall
Democracy is flat on its back, Jack
We had it all
And what we had is not coming back, Zac
A big mouth
Says the people they don't want to be free for free
The blackout
Is this an extinction event we see?
Go easy on me, easy on me, Brother
Go easy on me, easy on me, Brother
When the lights go out
And you throw yourself about in the darkness
Where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don't you ever doubt
The light that we can really be
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
Blackout
It's clear
Who you are will appear
Blackout
No fear
So glad that we are all still here
Here!
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
And you throw yourself about in the darkness
Where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don't you ever doubt
The light that we can really be
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
Wonders why it still walks the Earth, yeah
A meteor, promises it's not gonna hurt, yeah
Earthquakes always happen when you're in bed, Fred
The house shakes, maybe it was something I said, Ned
Go easy on me, easy on me, Brother
And you throw yourself about in the darkness
Where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don't you ever doubt
The light that we can really be
Democracy is flat on its back, Jack
We had it all
And what we had is not coming back, Zac
A big mouth
Says the people they don't want to be free for free
The blackout
Is this an extinction event we see?
Go easy on me, easy on me, Brother
And you throw yourself about in the darkness
Where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don't you ever doubt
The light that we can really be
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
It's clear
Who you are will appear
Blackout
No fear
So glad that we are all still here
Here!
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
And you throw yourself about in the darkness
Where you learn to see
When the lights go out
Don't you ever doubt
The light that we can really be
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
When the lights go out

Oh my God! I lost an election, the lights must be going out and its the end of Democracy!
