Wishing Well

Too much power in our hands
Everything we do, we do for trend
And the wicked ways that'll bring us to our end
We sweep under the rug just to come right back up again

Hysteria is commonplace
The whole world is just one click away
Everybody speaks before they think
The media feeds on judgement day
We let our kind rot in the street
Even Uncle Sam won't guarantee that if
You fight you'll have a place to sleep
Don't sound Utopian to me

So, Lord, don't rock the cradle and you better not rock the boat
Any deviance of what's deemed worthy, sure to have us at your throat
Words ain't worth a dime, more like pennies in a well
You better hope and wish til' your last earned cent
Cause copper don't spend in hell

Well, they tried their best to raise us up
To do your part and wait your turn
You reckon schoolhouse rock just didn't work?
Cause I'd love to see it all
Crash and burn

So, Lord, don't rock the cradle and you better not rock the boat
Any deviance of what's deemed worthy, sure to have us at your throat
Words ain't worth a dime, more like pennies in a well
You'd better hope a wish til' your last earned cent
Cause copper don't spend in hell
