Deadman - Is This The World We Want? lyrics

Gone are the days that were meaningful When a song can make a home deep in your heart The melody could twist and open a door And make you feel human, way more than before And somehow it got less convenient to care And time marches on, consumer’s unaware Is this the world we want? Do we change it or do we give up? Is this the world we want? We could change it but we’d have to speak up I admit it looked good when first it appeared “All you can eat for a dollar!” “Get your free phone right here!” Turn your head from the screen to the screen in your hand One’s selling violence, the other sells fear And maybe it is as it always has been We think we get further, but we fall back again Is this the world we want? Do we change it or do we give up? Is this the world we want? We could change it but it’s not convenient Not convenient Not convenient And maybe it is as it always has been We think we get further, but we fall back again Is this the world we want? Do we change it or do we give up? Is this the world we want? We could change it but we’d have to stand up And I found out when the power went out That truth was still truth and doubt was still doubt All I know now is to keep pressing on Toward the light in the darkness that keeps shining on
