Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
A misdirection, most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
From broken arms an' broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
You're pushing till you're shoving
You bend until you break
Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving,
Is no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now?
Nothing left to sing
Are there any left who hasn't kiss the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
Does justice never find you? Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Till the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in

Review about The Blues Rock Bottom | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/20/09
For me, this describes my slavery to lust. I've had so many times where some of my world caves in and I think that maybe now, I've learned my lesson and I'll finally see God as the only true source of sastifaction. Yet ultimately, it turns out just to be a hit 'n miss and I'm bound back in to the darkness.
But it will be a day like this one when all my little gods implode on me and God reveals all. But today that would not go well for me.
So right now they're nothin' so sing but the blues.
amazing song! | Reviewer: =] | 12/7/08
this song is absolutely beautiful. i think its meaning can be interpreted a little differently by everyone but for me it really describes how i feel sometimes but gives hope at the same time.
my favorite lines are:
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down
and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
And nothing is ok
Until the world caves in
which to me basically means that things are bad now but on a day when you feel the same way as you do now, god will make everything better. but until then, things arent good but you need to be hopeful

this song means so much to me at the moment, just like Siperchick's 'Beauty Frfom Pain'. It's helping me get through a really rough time, when i want to run but i need to stay and help.
truth wobbles and hides... its hard to know what to do sometimes. Things are rough all over
