The Purple Operator - Sliding Lyrics

This could have been something
But we needed more
The tears on their faces
I've seen before

The bottles lined up like
Like we're keeping score
But there's nothing
No cheers or awards

And I opened my ears wide
To a talk of hope
Taxes and trees
Going out for a smoke

I just can't listen
But I will take notes
Oh
I will take notes

What you want you can't take
Pile it up with your rake
Your eyes are dark
No moon in the park
Keep on sliding
Until the day breaks
