New America
Bad Religion
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, wo-oh wo-oh
Transcend the mass hysteria, wo-oh wo-oh
Change is the thing you're wary of, wo-oh wo-oh
We need a new America, wo-oh wo-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, wo-oh wo-oh
See through the lies they tell to us, wo-oh wo-oh
Confront the fears that worry us, wo-oh wo-oh
We need a new America, wo-oh wo-oh
Now we don't have to be afraid to re-invent
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, wo-oh wo-oh
This is the new America, wo-oh wo-oh
We are the new America, wo-oh wo-oh
This is the new America, wo-oh wo-oh
Let's go!
