The New Society

So to hell with everything we want
Take only what we need
We are the chosen few who keep believing
Three cheers for what we've lost

Sacrifices deemed all too worthy
We are the lonely fools who keep on singing along
Tell us who you are and from where you came
Share with us remnants of your heartaches and your pain

We are young, assumed naive
A generation searching for some meaning
We are not those kids you knew
We'll raise hell seeking the truth

All alone and we don't care
If we don't have a single prayer
And I don't think that you will ever understand

Or soon remember why we're so scared to die
But afraid to live
And not quick to forgive a heart for running dry
Or a world on the decline

We lost control that night
Don't know now just what the hell went wrong
We lost it all that night, we know, we know

We'll fight your war
The moment we're told what we're fighting for
And rest assured
We're twice the men we were which seemed impossible before

We built the walls around the hearts
That kept us warm and safe at night
We built the walls to shield our eyes
From fears of old that won't subside

We built the walls to shield our eyes
We watched our inhibitions die
We've come prepared to see this through
We are the strong, the proud, the few

We gained the strength to win the fight
We built the first everlasting life
We fight for dreams unsung, unseen
We are the new society
