Some of us are born, and then

Some of us are born again.

Some of us are scared to death,

And some just don't believe in it.

Something's always wrong

There's a line

An idea I can't get behind

No one knows what's right

But some try

And some just try to find a king

They say

Who will save us now

It's our life

But we don't want to live it

We want to be told how

By something or someone

Who's better than us

Who we know we can trust

Who will always protect us

Keep us scared to death

So we never ask questions

Who'll dictate the consequences of our actions

And give us peace of mind about our miserable lives

Confined and content,

All we want is a place we can hide

We can hide.

So we've always fought our wars

For what we're told's worth dying for

Land and love and god and wealth

But men in charge protect themselves

You can rest assured

It's the young and the poor who fought all our wars

Led to death by men who they chose

And hoped would protect them

And who will save us now

It's our life

But we don't want to live it

And all you'll get is down

Cause the people you elect to protect your best interests

Will just protect themselves

And all their investments

And even those few

With the best of intentions

Will just push their views

What they think is right for you

And everyone else

You can't think for yourself

Because you've chosen to

Let someone else do it for you

For you.

So we're left to drift between

Our waking life and all our dreams

Reality is relative

And that's all the advice I'll give

Life and death are hard

They're such strange and complicated issues

So listen, listen well

For insight --

No one knows what's right for you.

Who will save us now?

It's a wrong

And irrelevant question

'Cuz we figured it out

With the people who love us

Who call us our brothers

Through lessons we've learned

From our fathers and mothers

Not looking for someone

To find our solutions

To fight all our battles

Or show us what truth is

By working hard to find our own peace of mind

Living and learning till we know what's right for our lives

Our lives.
