lyrics

Simple logic is our crutch
To the closed minded ignorance
Can you make your own opinions?
You were bred into this hate
You’re programmed to think this way
Realize your own objections

Just across this decadent street
There’s abandoned buildings
With families inside
With nothing to eat
They can’t even sleep
Cause they’re constantly terrified

I forget the petty hardships in my life
Try to see things from the other side
Are we too preoccupied to feel grateful?
Are we so blind?

Is it fear of what we don’t know
Or made up of the stories we’re told
Are we even that different at all?
Social class is not state of mind
With a paycheck you’ll never find
Who you are and what you stand for

I was there...
Standing in silence
Alone in the darkness
The night compassion died
Aware of my own distractions
A need for revision
I decided to care

Hats off to my generation
We’ve lost all meaning
We’ve lost all hope
We’re the children without any answers
From broken American homes

A body was born without a soul
So when nobody loved him he kept control
And he never felt anguish or sorrow or pain
Just a chemical makeup of body and brain
Our children are the soul-less

Tonight’s the perfect night
To be set free
From all of the tangible feelings that made us the way that we are
Now Hitler can be resurrected and show us how perfect we are
