|
do you know the cost of future misery? |
|
have you lost your sense of sustainability? |
|
we are just a step away |
|
from realizing what we strive to be |
|
but we've got to break out |
|
from this insulated blind and lame senility |
|
wake up the new america |
|
wo-oh! |
|
transcend the mass hysteria |
|
wo-oh! |
|
change is the thing you're wary of |
|
wo-oh! |
|
we need a new america |
|
wo-oh! |
|
laurels, human triumph, |
|
bestowments from the past |
|
victories don't mean a thing |
|
if they don't last |
|
we are just marching toward extinction |
|
with blinders on our eyes |
|
jeopardizing everything |
|
we've learned and come to realize |
|
you call that wise? |
|
open your eyes america |
|
wo-oh! |
|
see through the lies they tell to us |
|
wo-oh! |
|
confront the fears that worry us |
|
wo-oh! |
|
we need a new america |
|
wo-oh! |
|
we don't have to be afraid to re-invent |
|
we've got to start to build, |
|
progress, and implement |
|
for when we take our fill, |
|
and never pay the price |
|
we only build ourselves a fleeting, |
|
false paradise |
|
you can live in staunch denial |
|
and mark me as your enemy |
|
but I'm just a voice among the throng |
|
who want a brighter destiny |
|
they say with me |
|
we are the new america |
|
wo-oh! |
|
this is the new america? |
|
wo-oh |
