Every day theres more people telling me "come on - just get on with your life!"

Were throwing dollars at every problem that we see, as if somehow thats right.

Think about the people that will come here after you.

Dont you know? weve got a lot to explain.



Were talking changes while the whole wide world falls apart, still nothing has changed.

Does it seem strange, we know the answers, so when can we start?

Could that just be a fantasy?



Almost everyone makes a living off of fear, its good business today.

Cast dispersions on everyone and everything, it poisons all that we say.

Speak as if you have your own monopoly on truth.

You know - this dream just has to survive!



Were talking changes while the whole wide world falls apart, still nothing has changed,

Does it seem strange we blame the past for whats still in our hearts?

Or could that just be a fantasy?



The beltway poets are waxing eloquent again, you know the punchline

If you had just left all the decisions up to me, then things would be fine,

Dont think about your children cause theres only here and now.

Dont you know? - theyve got a right to survive!



Were talking changes while the whole wide world falls apart, still nothing has changed.

Does it seem strange whats in the head never reaches the heart?

Could this just be a fantasy?



Were talking change just cause the whole wide world falls apart - thats no reason to change.

Does it seem strange we have the answers - so when can we start?

Their future is not just fantasy - youll agree with me - eventually.
