There was an accident today
One that occured downtown
One that no one could believe
And it didn't make any sense
According to the witnesses

Two cars were racing down the road
Towards eachother's hearts
Across eachother's path
And they collided in a way that made them inseperable

And wouldn't you say this was
A sequence of events
Described in words of rhetoric?

Waiting to become something that matters
Something that matters

Reporters clambored to the scene
In competition for the headline of the day
And they traded out their dignity for the cover of a magazine

So let us dedicate this day
To the disaster that always will remain
On the storyboards and news reports
And photographs that line the walls

And wouldn't you say this was
A sequence of events
Described in words of rhetoric?

Waiting to become something that matters
Something that matters

Shattered glass spreads in reflections
Our futures are through

And wouldn't you say this was
A sequence of events
Described in words of rhetoric?
