A thousand books remind us, how the world drags on and on and on
We've read those books but we don't grasp the meaning
See between the lines
Part truth, part tilted fiction, documents of endless history
Predictions for the future, armeggedon seems to suit you
(Chorus)
Don't wanna die, now do we? We're running in a desperate race
Don't wanna die, now do we? Just take us to a better place
You're thinkin' funny things when you look over, see me standing here
With words of hope, guess you could say, I'm looking for a brighter day
Don't ask me for a reason, I can't tell you what you want to hear
If all you do is criticize, you don't seem to realize
(Chorus)
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Chorus)
