Better Than We Found It
If you don't like it, then get the hell out
That's what they yell when I open my mouth
A stick is a stick, a stone is a stone
But who's gonna care if I don't?
Who's gonna change if I won't?
When time turns this moment to dust
I just hope that I'm proud of the woman I was
When lines of tomorrow are drawn
Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?
Will we sit on our hands, do nothin' about it?
Or will we leave this world better than we found it?
Over and under and above the law
My neighbor's in danger, who does he call?
When the wolf's at the door all covered in blue
Shouldn't we try somethin' new?
We're over a barrel and at the end of one too
When time turns this moment to dust
I just hope that I'm proud of the woman I was
When lines of tomorrow are drawn
Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?
Will we sit on our hands, do nothin' about it?
Or will we leave this world better than we found it?
America, America
Divided we fall
America, America
God save us all
From ourselves and the hell that we've built for our kids
America, America
We're better than this
When time turns this moment to dust
I just hope my son's proud of the woman I was
When lines of tomorrow are drawn
Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?
Will we sit on our hands, do nothin' about it?
Can we leave this world better than we found it?
America, America
That's what they yell when I open my mouth
A stick is a stick, a stone is a stone
But who's gonna care if I don't?
Who's gonna change if I won't?
When time turns this moment to dust
I just hope that I'm proud of the woman I was
When lines of tomorrow are drawn
Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?
Will we sit on our hands, do nothin' about it?
Or will we leave this world better than we found it?
Over and under and above the law
My neighbor's in danger, who does he call?
When the wolf's at the door all covered in blue
Shouldn't we try somethin' new?
We're over a barrel and at the end of one too
When time turns this moment to dust
I just hope that I'm proud of the woman I was
When lines of tomorrow are drawn
Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?
Will we sit on our hands, do nothin' about it?
Or will we leave this world better than we found it?
America, America
Divided we fall
America, America
God save us all
From ourselves and the hell that we've built for our kids
America, America
We're better than this
When time turns this moment to dust
I just hope my son's proud of the woman I was
When lines of tomorrow are drawn
Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?
Will we sit on our hands, do nothin' about it?
Can we leave this world better than we found it?
America, America
