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.
Transcend the mass hysteria.
Change is the thing you're wary of.
We need a new America.
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.
See through the lies they tell to us.
Confront the fears that worry us.
We need a new America.
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.
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.
This is the new America.
