I've Been Told

I see you stand aside and watch while they die You're not dead you're not yet alive You may have learned, may have learned how to survive You may have learned how to thrive You know everything has failed No idea never fell like this Your ideal never was meant to be Well time runs out The ground it waits to wake up Waits to call out This war is a grave mistake This war is a grave mistake This war is a grave mistake Follow this word how it grows Follow these lies how it falls Listen to these words I told It's like it's all like Like it's been before I have been told to stand in line and watch I've been told to stand in line and watch How they march to destroy How they march to destroy I have been told meant to grow old To have kids and a wife somewhere in paradise I've been told to grow old To have one last wish somewhere in paradise Well I've been told to forget What those people feel I can't feel What those people see I've foreseen Well I've been told
