What We're About

Everyone's searching and
Everyone is passively postponing all their hurting; they're
Baiting their breath
Waiting on a change
That's basically the new age.

Everyone's sleeping and
We have all avoided anything to do with talking about
How we can't just keep dreaming
To push it all away
We need a pinch, we need a shake.

All around the world
Everybody's trying so hard to get out
If only we could see
We gotta stay awake if we wanna show
What we're about.

Whether you're rich or poor, hon
It's all external bullshit that never helped anyone and
Anybody could see beyond it all
The heavier your pockets are
The quicker you fall.

If you see things in black and white
And life and blood,
And wrong and right, you've got it all wrong
You've fallen way behind
Drop the gun, get with the times.

All around the world
Everybody's trying so hard to fight it out
If only we could see
That we are all standing on the
Same damn ground.

We got more still bodies than the stars in the sky
Some people are killing and
Some people wanna die and that's
Not alright, oh
But people hurt and they want the world to know
Or they just wanna go.

All around the world
Everybody's trying so hard to get out
If only we could see
We gotta stay alive if we wanna show
What we're about.
