From the recording Live This Way (single)
Lyrics
These are our times
The times we’re born into
These are the lies
The lies we bought into
These are the crimes
In places we’ve never been to
These are the lives
Of people who got caught up into
You can’t turn the TV off
You can’t turn the volume down
You can’t look the other way
Can you face another day?
One more chance to make a change
One more day you get to say,
“We will not live this way.”
“We will not live this way.”
Is this the best
The best we can do?
This is not a test
One shot and we’re through.
Look at the mess
What the hell did we do?
We will not acquiesce
It’s up to me and you.
You can turn the TV off
You can turn the volume down
You can look the other way
You can face another day
One more chance to make a change
One more day you get to say,
“We will not live this way.”
“We will not live this way.”
“We will not live this way.”
These are our times
The times we’re born into
These are the lies
The lies we bought into
We have a choice
Sisters and brothers
We have a voice
Stronger than the others
We can turn the TV off
We can turn the volume down
We can look the other way
We can face another day
One more chance to make a change
One more day we get to say,
“We will not live this way.”
“We will not live this way.”
