lyrics

was there ever a time when everything turned out right,
when we didn't have to fight for every breath?
was there ever a time when we didn't feel this way,
when life didn't just mean hanging on day to day?
was there ever a place where we were really safe,
or was it all just the ignorance of youth?

when you gonna realize?
when you gonna realize what you gotta do?
when you gonna realize it ain't about you?
when you gonna realize?

was there ever a world that really cared for us,
or were we just too blind to see the truth?
was there ever a song that really meant something,
or did we sing just because we felt alone?
how can we fight for justice, fight for love, fight for peace
when we're so full of despair?

when you gonna realize?
when you gonna realize what you gotta do?
when you gonna realize it ain't about you?
when you gonna realize?

love is not a plaything for the rich and powerful
and hate, well you taught us hate, we never had a choice at all
born into a system of
institutionalized greed
but it's just another effect,
a product of your social policies

when you gonna realize
what's at stake?
isn't it obvious?
isn't it obvious?
isn't it obvious?
what the fuck?
isn't it obvious?
isn't it obvious?

when you gonna realize what you've gotta do?
when you gonna realize it ain't about you?
a million people in the same position
a billion people, and all of them wishing
that they could be you, but it's easy to be free
when you're part of the problem, just a leaf on the tree
while we're being punished
for accepting a fate we don't want to begin with
we never asked to be part of this
I don't want to be part of this
we never asked to be part of this
i refuse to be part of this
