Institutions of the World - Charlie Straight

If they tell you not to stay

If they tell you not to go

If you say that you don’t know

They won’t help you out for sure

There are questions in the air

There’s confusion and despair

Is this building going to fall?

There are cracks in every wall

You just stand there at the door

You hear whispers in the room

You don’t know what you’ve come here for

Don’t know what you’re going to do

Institutions of the world

I’m so tired of this game

We’ve been playing for so long

And I’m losing all the way

Institutions of the world

Won’t you let me get some rest

I’ve been trying pretty hard

I’ve been trying to do my best

You will have to wait for now

Take a seat there on the floor

«We'll be open in a while,»

Says the sign stuck on the door

There’s a pile of empty forms

Scattered pages in the dust

You can see there’s something wrong

Which reminds you of the past

Someone’s taken all the chairs

So as not to take the risk

There’s the question in the air:

«What's the point in all of this?»

Institutions of the world

I’m so tired of this game

We’ve been playing for so long

And I’m losing all the way

Institutions of the world

Won’t you let me get some rest

I’ve been trying pretty hard

I’ve been trying to do my best

Institutions of the world

I’m so tired of this game

We’ve been playing for so long

And I’m losing all the way

Institutions of the world

Won’t you let me get some rest

I’ve been trying pretty hard

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely

I’m so lonely
