Genocide on the way to the classroom,
I ducked under a desk and I think it saved my life.
One can never know the meaning of a real good vibe,
'till they die.
All they found was a depose coward,
and an empty bunker where the warhead should have been.
So let's unite it for wide super power
'cause it's easier to win.
I can't believe when they say to me:
"Just look how far we've come"
Empty successes, that are mentioned,
by false battles bought and won.
'Cause everyone's needy and everyone's greedy,
and this feels a lot like truth.
So wake up.
Rise up.
There is something more to prove.
Turn our backs on a dying nation, we with all these drugs,
that could maybe bring them some relief.
Oil, sugar, coffee, cattle, tea and plastic,
we'd save the poor ones who can't eat.
Like maggots, surgeons, tax and freshly-frozen leeches,
leaders fire off the same old speeches.
"This could be the time that change might happen"
Is who we are unchanged?
I can't believe when they say to me:
"Just look how far we've come"
Empty successes, that are mentioned,
by false battles bought and won.
'Cause everyone's needy and everyone's greedy,
and this feels a lot like truth.
So wake up.
Rise up.
There is something more to prove.
When there are no secrets left,
when there is no time to count,
when there are no children left,
our work will be done.
Sell our first-born, why won't you help them all?
We stand, they fall.
Why won't you help them all?

So wake up.
Rise up.
There is something more to prove.
(We stand, they fall, why won't you help at all?)
Something more to prove.
If all we ever wanted was all we ever needed,
our leaders would believe it,
and rip apart our dreams again.
Because everything we wanted is really quite deceiving.
Because we see it, we want it,
we consume it, we ruin it.
We just might win if I don't leave them again.
