Lost in the Dust

[Verse] Dust in my pocket A hole in my shoe Streetlights flicker like they don’t know what to do Hunger whispers It ain’t nothing new [Chorus] We’re the lost generation Forgotten by time Walking these streets where no stars ever shine Lost in the dust We just toe the line [Verse 2] The preacher’s gone quiet The church doors are bare The wind hums a hymn But nobody cares Hope’s a thin blanket It don’t keep me there [Prechorus] I see shadows No faces No names Just echoes of people who once played the game [Chorus] We’re the lost generation Forgotten by time Walking these streets where no stars ever shine Lost in the dust We just toe the line [Bridge] I asked the sky if it still had a dream It laughed in my face Said nothing’s as it seems The river’s dried up It don’t carry no streams
