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 is always wrong
|
There's a lie, an idea I can't get behind
|
No one knows what's right, some try
|
Some try to find a king
|
|
They sing "Who will save us now?
|
It's our life but we don't want to live it"
|
We want to be told by something or something who's better than us
|
Who we know we can trust
|
Who'll always protect us but 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
|
|
So we've always fought our wars for what we're told is worth dying for
|
Land and love and god and wealth but men in charge protect themselves
|
You can rest assured that it's the young and the poor who've fought all them
|
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 because the people you elect to protect your best interests
|
will just protect themselves and all their investments
|
and even the few with thte 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
|
|
So we're left to drift between our waking life and all of our dreams
|
Reality is relative and all that's all the advice I'll give
|
Life and death are hard
|
They're such strange and complicated issues
|
So listen and listen well for insight but no one knows what's right for you
|
|
"Who will save us now? It's a wrong and irrelevant question
|
Because we figure it out with the people who love us
|
Who call us mothers not looking for someone to find our solutions
|
Fight all our battles or show us what truth is
|
It's by working hard to find our own peace of mind
|
Living and learning until we know what's right for our lives
|
