Breakthrough lyrics

The visitors find the children gone from school:
aged relations sling their guns across the desks...
there`ll be no break-time for them unless
they talk about tomorrow
as though it`s already on its way.
Amen, oh yes, they`re
waiting for the breakthrough in time.

The visitors hide no aces up their sleeves
and the classroom pulses to many different drums.
If only a breakthrough in time would come
there`d be some chance for the visited ones.
We could talk about tomorrow
as though we believed in that.
We could talk about it right now,
and it would come as a shock
to feel the fingernail grow on the trigger finger -
still the visitors clock us
waiting for the breakthrough,
waiting for the breakthrough
with time on our hands.

(It`s there all the time
