Our Anthem (99)

about

lyrics

When we were young they told us that
We’d inherit utopia

That they’d make with their blood, sweat, and brains
Now we’re older nothing’s changed

Now your wars have all been won
You’re hiding in your mansion in the sun

The sun still looks the same
This world will never change
We try to get used to it
Postwar dreams soon turn to rust
Compassion changes to mistrust
Our leaders tell us to get used to it

Now our light is growing dim
And our poisons fill the air
It is a legacy your child will find so hard to bear

But don’t feel bad if we don’t seem so grateful to you
It’s not like we could have done any better

The sun still looks the same
This world will never change
We’ll have to get used to it
As we watch our world devoured
By lust for money and for power
We can’t get used to it

They told us we’d all walk on the moon
They told us all poverty would end soon
An end to toil, an end to pain
But their dreams were washed away in acid rain

The sun still looks the same
This world will never change
We’ll have to get used to it

Now our souls no longer fly
And no one’s asking why
They’ll just get used to it

Another century rolls by
And we’re no closer to the sky
We’ll just get used to it

The stars are still so far away
and this distance we can’t change
We’ll never get used to it
