Livable Place

How much will we pay
To build this house of cards in which we all play
And what's the going rate
For your peace of mind and the locks upon your gate
Celebrity abates
Our hunger for another life, just a little taste
'Cause no one can debate
That these images of reality are fake

So while you wait
We slip away
Sure to play the same song again
It's a human trait
To forget yesterday
'Cause there's no tomorrow for those who reign today

Progress leaves in its wake
The hopes and dreams of humans blind to what's at stake
Seconds tick away
They become the minutes, hours, days and years we trade away

So while you wait
We slip away
Sure to play the same song again
It's a human trait
To forget yesterday
'Cause there's no tomorrow for those who rule today

I believe we can change our ways
I believe we should have a say
I believe we should know where we are going by learning where we have been

Voting is passé
Unless the ballot cast is for the idol of the day
Some may kneel and say
Send your money now, we'll make it all okay, we'll just pray

We cannot wait
We won't hesitate
To save the world for our children's sake
It's not too late
To change our fate
To make the world a livable place
