Save Us from Ourselves
[Intro: Winston Churchill]
"The new world, with all its power and might
Steps forth to the rescue and liberation of the old..."
[Verse 1]
It was the same day in another time
I felt your pain and you felt mine
And all that we tried and all of our tricks
Still couldn't help what couldn't be fixed
Who's gonna save us from ourselves this time?
[Chorus]
One nation, indivisible, heads in the sand 'cause we weren't invisible
Say your prayers, we could all use a miracle now
To save us from ourselves
[Verse 2]
Demonstrations, appropriations, more frustrations, tugging at your sleeve, yeah
Peace and love still has the power, don't wait until your final hour to believe
I said, with all that we've tried and all of our tricks
Still could not help what couldn't be fixed
Can anyone save us from ourselves this time?
And the truth is...
[Chorus]
One nation, indivisible, heads in the sand 'cause we weren't invisible
Say your prayers, we could all use a miracle now
To save us from ourselves
[Bridge: Winston Churchill]
"We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets...
We shall never surrender"
[Outro]
Save us from ourselves
Save us from ourselves, yeah
