Don't want to overthrow the day There's got to be a better way Don't want to hurt nobody I just want to get away Just want to close my eyes now Wish the world would go away This is the last brigade The world looked into our eyes And gave us promises and lies They said we had the future Look at what that means today They said we were the future So long as we played it their way This is the last brigade So we're gonna overthrow the day But there's got to be another way Now you don't like the system But what's the system anyway I don't want to march to any drums I just want to find my own way And I'm through with all the hate This is the last brigade
I'm looking for the truth Can't find one anywhere Just looking for the truth I know there's one out there Looking for something . . . Looking for something That I can believe in Looking for something . . . Looking for something That I can believe in now Living in a daydream world Til the real one fades away We never saw much in their world And we're better off that way Looking for something . . . Looking for something That we can believe in Looking for something . . . Looking for something That we can believe in now What are we doing here? And if you ask me What it is What we're looking for Well I don't know
Moved by a movie Medium is the message now You're saying do the right thing But then you turn around You turn around and Do it wrong You gotta break the walls Not build them up Break the walls Not build them up Break the walls You've gotta break the walls You're taking it way too far Now racists come In all shapes and colors too I'm so sick of all the bullshit I'm sick of louis farrakhan I'm sick of jesse helms You gotta break the walls Not build them up Break the walls Not build them up Break the walls You've gotta break the walls You're taking it way too far Taking it way too fast Don't blame me or my friends For the sins of the past You want to make me abandon you You want to make me abandon you You want to make me abandon you But I don't want to But I don't want to But I don't want to
You're looking around Trying not to notice That things are really falling down Everywhere we go We see the signs there And I don't see it coming round Will I ever know A brighter future staying here Will I ever know All of the promises from years ago But as we grew we know They're far from here Will we ever know A brighter future Or see a 1,000 points of light Just all the talking of politicians Who never seem to get it right Will I ever know A brighter future staying here Will I ever know All of the promises from years ago But as we grew we knew It's far from here Far from here . . . Sometimes I get so wound up I want to take my mind I want to get away But everywhere I look I know it's the same as yesterday Will we ever know A brighter future?
It's out of control Going too fast Seeing things you never thought would last Like a blind man who takes the blind off Like a blind man who takes the blind off Naked truth hits you like the sun Between your eyes Naked truth hits you like the sun Between your eyes And everything's coming straight at you But nothing hurts you like the truth You've got to hold on to The things that you believe in Do you remember all the things that we believe in? Just hold on Tear in my eye Still I sit here and laugh You won't see it when I walk away And everybody has got their advice But you've got a problem And no one can help when it's up to you No one can help when it's up to you Just hold on It's time
Turn away, turn away, turn away Just don't let her turn away Other way, other way Just don't look the other way Turn away, turn away, turn away Just don't let her turn away Other way, other way Just don't look the other way And if you'd seen her face Well, if you'd seen her face Just a smile that was withering away I wanna look, but it's gonna be too late Untouched by another persons fate Well, I don't like that No, I don't like that Oblivious to haze Too good to turn away But I don't like that Turn away, turn away, turn away Just don't let her turn away Other way, other way Just don't look the other way Couldn't turn away Turn away Don't turn away Turn away Don't turn away Turn away Don't turn away
Say we're bored and disaffected Well, I wonder how we got that way I can't see the silver lining Can't even see the sun Beneath the skies of grey Hearing voices inside my head You sing commercials when you walk along Think of what you're really saying Now you pour your heart out in their song Say you wanna go Do you wanna go But I guess my way is good Well it's the way I know Hearing things you'll never hear And if you did You wouldn't listen anyway And I know it's hard Well I know it's hard And I know it's hard for you to understand I know, I know Maybe tomorrow we'll find a way
So where is all this going Does anybody know Shed a thousand tears But what do we got to show Crime and hate and war They're still there all around Giving our hearts so long Are we screaming without a sound Are we making a difference Or wasting our time Can you tell me? Well now I'm getting older Will I ever see The peace on earth that starts With you and me Well if all the world's a stage Then I've got my part to play Are we making a difference Or wasting our time Can you tell me? Is it the greenest field Don't you think it's kind of sick To lead a pointless life Call yourself a different kind But do you even try Well I'm not pointing my fingers at you There's just so much that we can do And all you can do in life is try To light up the sky
In the midst of changing times I look around and fear unknowns Fear changes in my mind We're seeing all this change We're hearing promises But will these changing days Mean a bright new tomorrow? In my mind In my mind it's all the same When assumptions of the past Come crumbling down like berlin walls And everything we thought would last Becomes nothing at all Evil empires fade away And all the fears we knew dissolve But will these changing days Mean a bright new tomorrow? In my mind In my mind It's all the same And if I close my eyes Then I can see the world
That time of the day is finally here Better go and answer What was the future is not very clear Now it's the only way that you know Even if it started in the past You better go and answer Don't put it off cause it doesn't last Sometimes I wake up into another Dream A dream not reality That's not he way it seems You can't run away and look behind Time's test will show you the path There is no way to alter yesterday Your hour's running down - out of sand I walk down the shaded streets In the middle of the night No matter what I tell myself It'll end up with a fight That time of the day is finally here Better go and answer Even the future must come to an end Sometimes I wake up into another Dream A dream not reality that's not the way it Seems I look around at home I'm feeling all alone Nothing to turn to nothing to turn to
Seeing good and badness all around When I look around this place Sometimes I just want to get away Then I close my eyes Til I see her face Then I can see The whole world in front of me And as I drive through sunshine Radio playing, now the world's o.k. I hold her hand, it's all I want It's all I need I feel alright inside today Now I can see The whole world in front of me And if I'm awake at nighttime Singing to myself then it's o.k. I look over I can see her face Then I know we finally found the way Thank you
Think of what you're saying You think that i won't care Guess you can't change your mind But i'm not just gonna stand there Give you every chance Better than not trying at all Some day you'll find it hurts more to stand than it does to fall And if i change my ways Would i see better days And if i change my ways Would i see better Would i see better days Wish someone could tell me What is wrong cause nothing is right Now you can try and try And still end of fighting And you can go to the well But still end up dry Seems like nothing's easy anymore In my eyes And if i change my ways Would i see better days And if i change my ways Would i see better Would i see better days Think of what you're saying Can you think that i won't care Now you many never change the world But i'm not just I'm not just gonna stand there Not this time No, not this timeTop
