what will it take how many years till you awake

closing your eyes won't make it go away

we all know there's something wrong

that's why we write these songs

we think the problems lie in everybody else

when they really lie inside ourselves

whoa (hey hey)

close your eyes and pretend you're unaware

and turn your back and pretend that you don't care

too scared to stand up for what you believe

you say that your voice makes no difference
