New America

(Jimmy!)

Do you know the cost of future misery?
Have you lost your sense of sustainability?

We are just a step away from realizing
What we strive to be
But we've got to break out from this insulated
Blind and lame senility

Wake up the new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
Transcend the mass hysteria
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
Change is the thing you're wary of
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
We need a new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)

Laurels, human triumph, bestowments from the past
Victories don't mean a thing if they don't last

We are just marching toward extinction
With blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything we've learned
And come to realize
You call that wise?

Open your eyes, America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
See through the lies they tell to us
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
Confront the fears that worry us
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
We need a new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)

Now we don't have to be afraid to reinvent
We've got to start to build, progress, and implement
For when we take our fill and never pay the price
We only build ourselves a fleeting false paradise

Yeah, you can live in staunch denial
And mark me as your enemy
But I'm just a voice among the throng
Who want a brighter destiny
They say with me

We are the new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
This is the new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
We are the new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh)
This is the new America
Whoa-oh (whoa-oh) let's go!
