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
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
