You Are Here

Contributed by one-curly-fry on Friday, 3rd November 2006 @ 09:51:07 AM in AEST
Topic: political



It won’t take a million artists
for it’s been tried
- and you didn’t listen
It won’t take a million scientists
for all their great work
- you steal the entertainment
It won’t be your leaders
for they have their own agenda
- you’re just a number
Nor will it be by me
for I’m just one man
- my voice goes only so far

The world dies around you
yet you won’t miss prime-time
another heart is broken
yet you remember the full ocean
a boy comes with hope
- yet you only hear effort
a heart bleeds in vain
- yet you turn away with disgust

The problem won’t go away
you may as well close your eyes
- on the freeway
either way, things will change
and you’ll be sorry
- that you never took the chance.

and you’ll be sorry
- that you never took the chance."
