Some of us are born and
then some of us are born again
Some of us are scared of death and
some just don't believe in it
Something's always wrong
There's a lie, An idea i can't get behind
No one knows what's right
Some try, Some just try to find a king
They sing "Who will save us now?
It's our life but we don't want to live it"
We want to be told how
By something or someone who's better than us
We know who we can trust
Who will always protect us
But keep us scared to death, So we never ask questions
Who'll dictate the consequences of our actions
And give us peace of mind about our miserable lives
Confined and content
All we want is a place we can hide!"
So we've always fought our wars for
What we're told is worth dying for
Land and love and god and wealth
but men in charge protect themselves
You can rest assured
It's the young and the poor who've fought all our wars
Led to death by men who they chose
and hoped would protect them
And "who will save us now?
It's our life but we don't want to live it!"
And all you'll get is down
Because the people you elect to protect your best interests
Will just protect themselves and all their investments
Even the few with the best of intentions
Will just push their views
What they think is right for you and everyone else
You can't think for yourself
Because you've chosen to let someone else do it for you
So we're left to drift between our waking life
and all of our dreams
Reality is relative and all that's all the advice I'll give
Life and death are hard
They're such strange and complicated issues
So listen and listen well for insight
But no one knows what's right for you
"Who will save us now?"
It's a wrong and irrelevant question
Because we figure it out with the people who love us
Who call us their brothers
Through lessons we learn from out fathers and mothers
Not looking for someone to find our solutions
To fight all our battles or show us what truth is
It's by working hard to find our own peace of mind
Living and learning till we know what's right for our lives
-Straylight Run, "Who Will Save Us Now?"
