Nobody Knew (black white house)

Words and Music by Kelly Keeling and Carmine Appice

Here we are in the year 2000
Looking through glass, we've oxygen masks
Here we are, the faceless surround us
Expressions unnoticed, they thought it would last

Nobody knew where they were headed
Except for the few who made it all clear
Nobody knew who's running the White House
Let's paint it all black now, do you think they would mind?

Now we know, we're stained glass houses
No motors or gas, it's all come to pass
All we ever wanted was clear cool water
To wash off the stains, keep oceans alive

Here we are in the year 2000
Breaking the glass with oxygen masks
Here we are, the mindless surround us
Emotions unheard of, they thought it would last

What destination, why play the game
Lord take me home, it's not the same
Here now

Nobody knew where they were going
Except for the few who made it all clear
Nobody knew who's running the White House
Let's paint it all black now, no-one's inside

There's a hole in our blue sky
Blind sighted, earth spins
Find time for me
Time to think
Time to breathe
Time to leave

What destination, why play the game
Lord take me now, it's not the same
Here now

Here we are the ageless surround us
Emotions unheard of, they thought it would last

Nobody knew who followed the leaders
Except for the few who thought they knew
Guess it's all clear it was all for the money
Peace with your neighbour or join in the war

There's a hole in our blue sky
