In This Lifetime

What can you do
When the damage is done?
All that we've lost
But convinced we have won
Picturing life how I wish it would be
It might be something that I'll never see

In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime

We are always waiting for the good guys to come along
To somehow save the day
Fascinating how we can never admit we're wrong
But why? We cannot say
Contemplating how we managed to become withdrawn
Turning our eyes away
Why did we allow this mess to happen for so long?
Now we've a price to pay

In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
Ooooh
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
Ooooh

Where do we go when the planet is gone?
There's nowhere left but we still try to run
Content and careless, we firmly believe
"It doesn't matter; it won't affect me"

In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime

We were just too busy pointing fingers and our guns
At everybody else
Blame it on our mothers, fathers, daughters and our sons
Anyone but ourselves
Screaming at each other from the top of our lungs
For power and for wealth
It is only a matter of time til we're all numb
The doomsday clock hits twelve

In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
Ooooh
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
Ooooh
(In this lifetime who are we to change?)

Follow your senses
All over the place
Not realizing you
Are making a mistake
You never looked back
To assess your track
All of the princes
You kept on the throne
To leave you alone
Are waiting to attack

In this lifetime
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
Ooooh
(In this lifetime who are we?)
