Simply because
you can breathe
Doesn't mean
you're alive
or that you really live
This life
has taken its toll
She just doesn't know
how much more
she can give
But here
at the top of the world
where I raise my hands
and I clench my fists
And they stand
before me below
demanding the answers
with flips of a switch
I don't understand
where you got this idea
so deeply ingrained
in your head
something
that you must impress
'Cause I couldn't care less
A need
for revolution rising
It comes to the surface
gasping for air
And we're not
putting up with this planet
one more day
much less one more year
I don't understand
where you got this idea
so deeply ingrained
in your head
something
that you must impress
'Cause I couldn't care less
So here
and now
in our rotting nation
The blood
it pours
it's all on our hands now
We live
in fear
of our own potential
to win
to lose
It's all on our hands now
And I have
an American Dream
but it involves
black masks
and gasoline
One day I'll turn
these thoughts
into screams
At a world
that turned its back
down on me
I don't understand
where you got this idea
so deeply ingrained
in your head
something
that you must impress
'Cause I couldn't care less
