One chance

Until we learn to grow, make it our business to know Following the tracks left around us as they go Take a long hard look at the nature of humanity We’ve blurred the lines between genius and insanity Overburdened with the instinct to survive Is that all that there is to this life? Is that all that there is to this fucking life? In the future they’ll tell our story Of how we idolised all the lying ‘dignitaries’ But something tells me that a change in the tides is coming There’s only so long before the equation must be balanced truly Manifesting in time Everyone so sick of being told to fall in line If you’re going to make a difference, first you’d better start with yourself What’s the point in living a life being dictated to by someone else? We’ve only got one chance on this earth before we leave it forever And I’ve tried so hard but I can’t sugar-coat it any better Do you want to spend the rest of life living down on your knees? Do you feel like you’ve been left here alone forever? Until there’s the slightest chance that we can grow for the better Then we’ll travel to the ends of the earth for the sake of a letter If we can live in a time bereft of selfishness and greed We’ll get just what we need Let me make things perfectly clear, just lend me your ear Look at these people walking around in perpetual fear Take a long hard look, they’re addicted to the flashing screens It’s a terrible shame, cultivating the lame Tools of modern slavery A generation lost, exhausted from the pain and strife of this life Is that all that there is to this life? Is that all that there is to this fucking life? In the future they’ll tell our story Of how we idolised all the lying ‘dignitaries’ But something tells me that a change in the tides is coming There’s only so long before the equation must be balanced truly Manifesting in time Everyone so sick of being told to fall in line If you’re going to make a difference, first you’d better start with yourself What’s the point in living a life being dictated to by someone else? Refuse conformity if you want to keep your integrity Do I really have to explain this to you Make a choice, because you’ve only got one chance Just one I know what I’ma do with mine The question is, what you gonna do with yours? ‘Cause We’ve only got one chance on this earth before we leave it forever And I’ve tried so hard but I can’t sugar-coat it any better Do you want to spend the rest of life living down on your knees? Do you feel like you’ve been left here alone forever? Until there’s the slightest chance that we can grow for the better Then we’ll travel to the ends of the earth for the sake of a letter If we can live in a time bereft of selfishness and greed We’ll get just what we need
