lyrics

Normal Won’t Be Normal (Anymore)

It’s been a long time, locked up and out of sight
Missing the sunshine, every day’s just like the night
I threw my calendar away
One day a week now, they give us food and drink
It’s pretty bleak now, it’s getting hard to think

Wanna get back to normal, the way things were before
Things they are so diff’rent now
I can’t see a way, just can’t see how
You know, normal won’t be normal anymore

They’re checking with their brokers, and stuffing aces up their sleeves
Say they’ll tell us when it’s over, but why should we believe
That story changes all the time
Divide and conquer, just like any other war
The rich keep getting richer, that’s what poor folks’ lives are for

Wanna get back to normal, the way it was before
But things they are so diff’rent now
Can’t see a way, just can’t see how
You know, normal won’t be normal anymore

I wanna get back to normal, the way it was before
But things they are so diff’rent now
I can’t see a way, just can’t see how
You know, normal won’t be normal anymore
 
Normal no será normal (nunca más)

Ha pasado mucho tiempo, encerrado y fuera de la vista
Extrañando la luz del sol, todos los días son como la noche
Tiré mi calendario a la basura
Un día a la semana nos dan comida y bebida
Está bastante desolado ahora, se está haciendo difícil pensar

Quiero volver a la normalidad, como eran las cosas antes
Pero las cosas son tan diferentes ahora
No puedo ver una manera, simplemente no puedo ver cómo
Lo normal ya no será normal nunca más

Están consultando con sus bolsistas, metiéndose ases en la manga
Nos dicen que nos dirán cuando termine, pero ¿por qué deberíamos creer?
Esa historia cambia todo el tiempo
Dividir y conquistar, como cualquier otra guerra
Los ricos se hacen cada vez más ricos, para eso están las vidas de los pobres

Quiero volver a la normalidad, como eran las cosas antes
Pero las cosas son tan diferentes ahora
No puedo ver una manera, simplemente no puedo ver cómo
Ya sabes, lo normal ya no será normal nunca más

Quiero volver a la normalidad, como eran las cosas antes
Pero las cosas son tan diferentes ahora
No puedo ver una manera, simplemente no puedo ver cómo
Lo normal ya no será normal nunca más
