Everything Is Happening - Mother Mother

A baby bird with brand new wings

A little girl on a playground swing

The elderly lose their teeth

And little old me, I lost my key

So I stay inside to watch TV

Where the anchor lies about the middle-east

Where the prophets cry for old Paris

Because the romance died, but it didn’t in me

Everything is happening

Everything is happening at the same time

But if you listen close enough you might find

Listen close enough and you’ll hear the world cry

A black star falls into the sea

To make room for the next prodigy

Cause there’s a genius born in a basement suite

With digital toys and a symphony

Oh what about me, yeah what about me

What about me and my rock and roll dreams

What about them in the factories

Who never sleep, who never dream

Everything is happening

Everything is happening at the same time

But if you listen close enough you might find

Listen close enough and you’ll hear the world cry

And the Americas are hooked on drugs

And the government is run by thugs

If there’s a God above it’s not enough

But I don’t care cause I’m in love

Everything is happening

Everything is happening at the same time

But if you listen close enough you might find

Listen close enough and you’ll hear the world cry

And everyone is speaking up

Everyone’s just spilling guts at the same time

But if we listen up enough and shut our mouths

Listen up enough we might hear the world sigh
