"Heaven Can You Help" lyrics

As days tied each to each pass somewhere out of reach
It's hard to make much sense of where we are
The system's run amok and we've no doubt pushed our luck
Beyond what once would pass for much too far

Heaven can you help us, I'm sending up this prayer
If you're still out there somewhere let us know
Heaven can you help us with this complicated task
If it's not too much to ask, don't be slow
Heaven can you help

Beware the ones who speak with forked tongues that reek
Of hatred six in ten will most deplore
And of those six there are two who blindly take their cue
From cable news distorted to the core

Heaven can you help us, all our senses have grown numb
Like teenagers chewing gum, we've checked out
Heaven can you help us, though we all know what to do
You know it's only you who has the clout
Heaven can you help

Be careful, past your prime, the ravages of time
Use self-inflicted wounds with great allure
The dawn comes around again and we're right back where we've been
In a state of mind for which there is no cure

Heaven can you help us, we're not worthy I suspect
All the glitter we reflect isn't gold
Heaven can you help us, we're not really all that bad
We just let ourselves be had, truth be told
Heaven can you help
