lyrics

I get a feeling when the rain falls

It’s an emptiness like when they breached the walls

Of the capitol

Gets me thinking how’d we get this far

From who we think we are

Maybe we were just the lucky ones

The last to know the way the world was

Maybe we were just the fortunate sons

Waiting to see what the world becomes

Everyday something else seems to break

Everything that you thought you knew starts to fade

Like tattered flag

Are we really better than this

Or is this just how the world really is

And we were just the lucky ones

The last to see the way the world was

Maybe we are just the fortunate sons

Are we are ready to decide what the world will become

We have always been the lucky ones

The first to see a world that was overcome

By the poor huddled masses, the old and the young

You can still change what this world becomes

Are you ready to change what this world becomes

Get ready to change what this world
