I know you live on my street

I sometimes wonder why we don't meet

I've seen your face in the sky

Twenty-five stories high You never come down to earth

Communication could hardly be much worse

Don't keep me here in the dark

I want to be your friend, your fears are way off the mark Every generation

Sees it their own way

Never learning their lessons

Making the same mistakes again It's not the same for us

As history fades away

It's not the same for us It's not the same for us

You must hear me when I say

It's not the same for us Look out on this brave new land

Think of the future, the future that lays in our hands

Our leaders live in the past

We can change it, there's something to hope for at last Every generation

Sees it their own way

Why don't we learn our lessons?

Don't make the same mistakes again It's not the same for us

As history fades away

It's not the same for us It's not the same for us

Do you hear me when I say?

It's not the same for us What dreams are you chasing now?

What are you living for?

The problems that we're facing now

Nobody faced before Please don't reject me

In anger or in sorrow

You've got to accept me

If we're to make a better tomorrow It's not the same

It's not the same for us
