Lyrics
I’ve gotta live like everybody else
Runnin’ all around then waking up again
Some try to lead us, then they gon’ deceive us
Can we get beyond the me me me me me
No it ain’t too late to turn this thing around
‘Cause a way to change the story must be found
What we gonna do? The ship has run aground
Simple to see, we got lost in a fable
Don’t count on me, I’m just reading the papers
Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves
We’ve gotta live with everybody else
Need to make a choice ‘tween truth or reality
Some want to blame us, or they try to shame us
Pushing all our buttons while they’re pulling all the strings
No it ain’t too late to turn this thing around
‘Cause a way to change the story must be found
What we gonna do? The ship has run aground
Simple to see, we got lost in a fable
Don’t count on me, I’m just reading the papers
Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves
No it ain’t too late to turn this thing around
‘Cause a way to change the story must be found
Simple to see, we got lost in a fable
Don’t look at me, I’m just reading the papers
Grinding our teeth about an illusion
Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves
Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves
