You woke up this morning, turned on the TV
And what did you see but calamity
Anger inside you swelled up unrestrained
The pictures they burned like a torch to your brain
Oh, what happened to the world you knew?
You feel the light no longer shines on you
The weight of the world pounds upon you back
Like your life has strapped you to the rack
Left there to die
Then in silence, you remember
You hold the key to the house of joy
Come in and leave all your sorrows
Here is the key to the house of joy
Come in and build your tomorrow
It waits for you
You don't a lot of money
You don't have many loving friends
You don't laugh anymore when it's funny
You think it'd be better if your life would end
Then in the silence, you remember
You hold the key to the house of joy
