Afternoon by The Foresters Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
This complication
Controls the population
We've got to work now
We've got to work now
Sunday mornings
Were just a warning
For what's left to come now
What's left to come now

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Left you after class
On the under-overpass
That is quite alright
I'll be stuck up there all night

[Chorus:]
Things, they happen too soon
In the afternoon
No time to change your place
You destroyed the human race
It's so hard to stay true
In the afternoon
Well, your eyes are getting weak
And your tongue can hardly speak
[Verse 2:]
Lonely farmer
Waits for his daughter
She'll never come, now
She'll never come, now
This religion
Drowned in superstition
That made us work, now
It doesn't work, now

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Milk that fell from stars
And silver steel guitars
All these things you want
But they just seem so far

[Chorus:]
Things, they happen too soon
In the afternoon
No time to change your place
You destroyed the human race
It's so hard to stay true
In the afternoon
Well, your eyes are getting weak
And your tongue can hardly speak
