| I don’t claim to be a wise man
|
| I don’t claim to be a saint
|
| But the world is caught on fire
|
| And we gotta do something
|
| We’re gonna start a peaceful riot
|
| Put the word out on the street
|
| Nothing’s gonna keep us quiet
|
| And we’ll be fighting while you sleep
|
| You’re a dream assassin, shooting down our hope
|
| And I bleed compassion, a piece you’ll never know
|
| You’re a dream assassin, your ship is going down
|
| But I breathe compassion, and we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now, we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now, yeah
|
| Like the children that we’re raising
|
| One is fear and one is love
|
| When you feed the one that’s hating
|
| It’s gonna break the other one
|
| You gotta sin a world of fiction
|
| Mixing lies up with the truth
|
| But we’re holding our conviction
|
| We are wise beyond our youth
|
| You’re a dream assassin, shooting down our hope
|
| And I bleed compassion, a piece you’ll never know
|
| You’re a dream assassin, your ship is going down
|
| But I breathe compassion, and we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now, we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now, the future now, yeah
|
| Teacher, teacher, tell me something
|
| Something I don’t know
|
| I wonder where I’ll go
|
| And when there’s no place left to go
|
| All a while I have been watching
|
| Yeah, I’ve seen you in the news
|
| Show me how to stand for something
|
| And I feel a freedom fighter’s shoes, ooh
|
| You’re a dream assassin, shooting down our hope
|
| And I bleed compassion, a piece you’ll never know
|
| You’re a dream assassin, your ship is going down
|
| But I breathe compassion, and we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now, we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now
|
| We’re the future now, we’re the future now, yeah
|
| We’re the future now, we’re the future
|
| We’re the future now |
