 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Simply because you can breathe,
Doesn't mean you're alive
Or that you really live
This life has taken it's toll
And she just doesn't know
How much more she can give

But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists
They stand before me below, demanding the answers with flips of a switch

I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply ingrained in your head
(that this world) is something that you must impress
'Cause I couldn't care less

A need for revolution's rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air
We're not putting up with this planet one more day much less one more year

I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply ingrained in your head
(That this world) is something that you must impress
'Cause I couldn't care less

So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood, it pours, it's all on our hands now
We live, in fear, of our own potential
To win, to lose, it's all on our hands now

And I have an American Dream,
But it involves black masks and gasoline,
One day I'll turn these thoughts into screams
At a world turned its back down on me

I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply ingrained in your head
(that this world) is something that you must impress
'Cause I couldn't care less
