Same Old Revolution

Got up this morning
Mind was blank
Seeing my own reflection about to crack
I got 24 hours
18 to kill
5 for sleep and then it's 1,2,3 Go!

There's a drought in Africa
The world keeps turning
Australia is burning
We're all hurting
Racial war
No Equality
Not enough brains to change the course of history
One more damaged civilization
We've become the remnants of our times

Everyone's got their say
Middle East to the U.S.A
We keep singing the same old revolution
Wearing our hearts on our sleeves
While our ship is sailing overseas
We keep singing the same old revolution

I've seen the writings on the western wall
The dead sea is dirty
Back to the city
Surfers surf on a flooded street
A homeless mother begs for change
cause her child has nothing to eat

Welcome back to 70's America
Peace and love and protest in our hearts
We began the era of hysteria
It's up to us to tear it all apart

While everyone's got their say
Middle East to the U.S.A
We keep singing the same old revolution
Wearing our hearts on our sleeves
While our ship is sailing overseas
We keep singing our songs of revolution

Into the Exquisite

Is it fear that's keeping us together?
In a world that keeps falling apart?
Is it pain or is it the illusion?
Is it the pump that's beating in my heart?
It starts from something I'm not.
I began like a child that was never planned.
A mistake that we once had.
A simple luxury.
Melancholy story
We're starring out to sea.

It's the thought that wakes us in the morning.
While the chills take over my spine
The commitment and the repetition
Brought results in a sweet decline
It's time we turn the aligned
I once was a teenager like you who never had a clue
I tried hard to relate and force the opposite
Into the exquisite

It takes over the feeling
What if there's a reason?
Why do I feel alone?
Now, I'm coming home.
