I will not be lost again
I have seen the light and I let it in
I don't need your jesus or
The ideals you perceive to rid you of sin
As humans we are all so flawed
Perfection is a chase that will never end
Ooo-oo
I've learned to live with these mistakes
A life that's beautiful for what it is not what it ain't
And I think back to the days when I was younger
And I wonder where the simple life has gone
'Cause now I'm getting old and start to wonder
Have I learned anything at all?
Yeah, anything at all?
The world is in a crazy spin
We hate our brothers, hurt our lovers
And wear our egos thin
We struggle with what we believe
We should become and what we're told
To be
No, I am not the first to say
But it is so fucked up we live this way
So tell me why you refuse to see
That war, starvation, this whole damn nation's view
Is fueled by greed
And I think back to the days when I was younger
And I wonder where the simple life has gone
'Cause now I'm getting old and start to wonder
Have we learned anything at all?
Anything at all?
♪
One of these days we'll get it right
Set fire to the world, watch it burn out bright
'Cause it has always been up to you
To figure it out and start something new
And never to give up 'till you do
Simplicity's a playground that we all outgrew
Ooo-oo
