The Way It's Always Been Lyrics

Brandon Flowers

They shut down the Golden Sahara hotel
Jessica says it won't be long 'til they blow it all to hell
She's standing in the front yard, cut-offs and skin
Me and her brother, we've been friends since I can't remember when
And ain't that the way it's always been
Everybody's sittin' around waiting for the Son to come again

A shift at the chemical plant, a white wedding dress
I wake up every morning and I wonder if I'm gonna pass the test
Tryin' to live up to what she's got in mind
Sometimes the pressure's so heavy, I feel like leaving it all behind me

And ain't that the way it's always been
Layin' low just long enough for the dust to settle down
The black and the white, the thick and thin
And hoping that he's really got the power to save us from these sins
Everybody's sittin' around waiting for the Son to come again

I took a long walk yesterday (yesterday)
To a field where I used to play
I saw myself in the corner of my mind
I was 12 years old and blind
To the big wheel and the grind

Ain't that the way it's always been
Standing at the water's edge waiting for the fog to clear
Tackle or touch, you sink or you swim
And hoping that he's really got the power to save us from these sins
Everybody's sittin' around waiting for the Son to come again
They're waiting for the Son to come again
