Don't try to tell me it's gonna be ok When the Truth is plain to see Cos if I take a look out of my own front door I can see the way it's gonna be And that's not what you're telling me Hey!
I see people being beaten in the streets And the system won't protect them Cos in better times all kinds of evil lay asleep 'Til the wind of fear can resurect them
How many more lives will it take?? Cos our history could teach us a lot about today
So it's one step forward and two steps back There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack Cos the future train's coming down the hill And we're tied to the track
I see a leader with an agenda to hide Fanning the flames of this confusion Turning fear into hatred, stirring something deep down inside And he says there's only one solution Look through that tangled web they weave That air of freedom is everybody's right to breathe
So it's one step forward and two steps back There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack Cos the future train's coming down the hill And we're tied to the track
How many more lives will it take?? Cos our history could teach us a lot about today
So it's one step forward and two steps back There's got to be some changes to bring the balance back The floor beneath is shaking, and the walls are 'bout to crack Cos the future train's coming down the hill And we're tied to the track
