Ignorance
There ain't no vaccine
For those who choose to pull
The wool over their eyes
And wonder what the fuss is about
No need to scream and shout
Persistence
To climb the ivory tower from the gutter
To shout rather than mutter
There's things I need to hear
But they seem worlds away from here
How can I be sure?
Is it too good to be true?
And though I've dreamt before
I swore I wouldn't do that no more
Seize the day
Grab your shoulders and shake it
It only happens if you make it
And we're running out of time
So I ask you
Would you rather be happy?
Or would you rather be right?
Surprise surprise, you can be neither
And if you feel like they're bargaining
With your best days let me just say
Someday they'll all come home to roost
As idle hands have tied the noose
You wanna fight for peace
Only as and when you please
And you're sinking fast as each wave breaks
On a sea of give and take
Seize the day
Grab your shoulders and shake it
It only happens if you make it
And we're running out of time
Or you can walk away
And never know what could've been
You can't miss what you've never seen
With your eyes wide shut
And are we gonna wilt away?
I'd rather see this go up in flames
Forever flat out all out
There'll be no cashout here today
And I can see you smiling
Splitting the lightning three ways
And if you can't be good be careful
But you've no time to be fearful
Seize the day
Grab your shoulders and shake it
It only happens if you make it
And we're running out of time
Or you can walk away
And never know what could've been
You can't miss what you've never seen
With your eyes wide shut
