Verse 1:
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
Chorus 1:
They sing "Who
will save us now?
It's our life but
we don't want to live
it" We want to be
told now 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
Verse 2:
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
Chorus 2:
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 the
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
Verse 3:
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
Chorus 3:
"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 half brothers
for lessons we've learned
for our fathers and 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
