lyrics

i believe that reality's gone disillusion's real
i believe that morality's gone and there's nothin' to feel
if you take the sacred things the things that we hold dear
empty promise is all you'll find so give me something
something to believe in 
i believe in a changing of the guard put our feet on the ground
see it happen in your own backyard everything breaks down
do you accept what you are told without even thinking 
throw it all and make your own and give me something
something to believe in
where they lead you will follow well i guess that's just the way it goes
and if you look away you'll be doing what they say and if you look alive
you'll be singled out and tried if you take home anything
let it be your will to think the more cynical you become
the better off you'll be
