Chores

Oh no oh no
Who do I tell that something terrible has happened here?
Send a message to the elders, something terrible has happened here
Who do I tell?
The elders have been wiped out, something terrible has happened here
Oh no, something terrible has happened here
Tears have run dry, there is no one left to cry
It hurts inside silently (silently)
Holding hands no longer holds meaning
What good is it to have survived this (to have survived)?
It's not wise to have outlived everyone, my love
If this is wisdom, who will bury us? (Who?)
Ah ha who do I tell that something terrible has happened here?
Send a message to the elders, something terrible has happened here
Who do I tell?
The elders have been wiped out, something terrible has happened here
Oh no something terrible has happened
Tears have run dry, there is no one left to cry
It hurts inside silently (silently)
Holding hands no longer holds meaning
What good is it to have survived this (to have survived)?
It's not wise to have outlived everyone, my love
If this is wisdom, who will bury us?
Who will cry for the other?
Who will comfort the other?
Who will hold the other's hand?
You have lost yours, and I have lost mine
So who will cry for the other now, my love?
Is this loss this year the end of the world?
Who will cry for the other?
Who will comfort the other?
Who will hold the other's hand?
Oh elders, elders
Hoo elders, elders
Something terrible has happened here
Send a message to the elders, something terrible has happened here
Who do I tell?
The elders have been wiped out, something terrible has happened here
Oh no something terrible has happened
The children shall lead
The worker shall lead, only the old and the infirm remain
So who will bury the other?
Who will hold the other's hand?
Who will cry for the other?
You have lost yours, and I have lost mine
So who will cry for the other?
Oh elders, elders?
Hoo elders, elders
Oh elders, elders
Something terrible has happened here
Send a message to the elders, something terrible has happened here
Who do I tell?
The elders have been wiped out, something terrible has happened here
Oh no something terrible has happened
Tears have run dry, there is no one left to cry
It hurts inside silently (silently)
Holding hands no longer holds meaning
What good is surviving this (to have survived)?
It's not wise to have outlived everyone, my love
If this is wisdom, who will bury us? (Who?)
Ah ha who do I tell that something terrible has happened here?
