About The Future

What this generation needs is a war
But it's hard to choose a side
When you don't know which is right
'Cause all my friends are frustrated, boring or bored
Yes, they all derrain their minds
Without a good excuse as to why
Lusting after yesterdays golden stars
Ah well, maybe that just never happens anymore

What this generation needs is a score
'Cause we realise we can all get along
But no one is willing to drop their arms
'Cause our forefathers made reforms
To civil rights and moral law
But now that fewer are maligned
There's less pushing us over the line
But oh, we really ain't that far
Ah well, somehow none of that matters anymore

And the result of all this is, we're rushing on our own
'Cause we ain't with the people we look like but
We ain't part of the whole
We almost understand our world
But we're resting on our laurel
And now my heart is shattered
We can't even try, even when it matters

Oh, so please don't let me go without you
My heart never shows without you
Lately things have been so distant
And I don't know what I can do to fix it
Why don't you love me like you used to?
Why do I worry about the future?
Is it just that how we manage is not by love, but force of habit?

And if only I could be a man
Rip down all your dreams and plans
Smash in all of your pretty things
So the only thing you could see was me
For what we done should be a crime
We should be locked up so we never see the light

For in the darkness, we could see
How worthless all our lives must be
For lovers like us who drift apart
Must be something wrong with our hearts
And be something wrong with all of us
To never care 'til things are lost
Why don't you love me like you used to?
Why do I worry about the future?
