So What John Cale

[Verse 1]
Less than a day when the speed of decision
Was taken while we waited outside
For savage ineptitude motionless spectacle
Into the glass of time

[Chorus]
So what do we learn from that?
What do we learn from that?
What do we learn from that?
The world goes 'round

[Verse 2]
What was replacing the fractured event
In the landscape of nobody left?
One day you said you will return
Safer by far than the fools at the bar

[Chorus]
So what do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
The world goes 'round

[Verse 3]
Inside the demand for a luxury hand
Lurks the context of misery's trend
How in the world can the trouble be found
When the movement's too fast for that? We're slow
