Here's the lyrics of "Hey Now":

Sky black and blue

Blue turned to red

It's quiet in the streets now

It's screaming in your head

I ain't a fool

I've got my doubts

You say it doesn't hurt

Doesn't matter anyhow

Anyhow

Your saying

Hey we're just bleeding for nothing

It's hard to breathe

When you're standing on your own

We'll kill ourself to find freedom

You'll kill yourself to find anything

At all

So lock all the doors

And put your child to rest

It's fire in the streets now

It's quiet in your head

We're passing the time

We're breaking apart

We're damned at the end

And we're damned at the start

Blame it on the roses

Blame it on the red

We're running out of time

And we're running out of breath

Saying

Hey now we're bleeding for nothing

It's hard to breathe

When you're standing on your own

We'll kill ourself to find freedom

You'll kill yourself to find anything

You say good bye

Everday and night

With writing on the walls

Everybody's gonna need somebody

To take our troubles

And our worries

And our problems

All away

Cause

Hey we're just bleeding for nothing

It's hard to breathe

When you're standing on your own

We'll kill ourself to find freedom

You'll kill yourself to find anything

At all

Hey now

We're bleeding for nothing

It's hard to breathe

When you're standing on your own

We'll kill ourself to find freedom

You'll kill yourself to find anything at all

Hey now, hey now, hey now

Right now

Hey now, hey now, hey now

Right now

Hey now, hey now, hey now

Right now

Hey now, hey now
