Julius & Ethel

I always thought that I could be special

If I just tried until it was perfect

But it was naive of me to think that

Naive to tell me when I was a child



Wasted my summer working for money

So I could buy things I thought that I wanted

When I should have been starting a savings

So I could move out and live with some friends



The tide is rising forth, don't get lost in it

Fed propaganda for 17 years

Public school drop-out finally wakes up

Realizes we can be better humans



We don't have to deal with all of this bullshit

We can build something up from the ashes

If we just band together as one force



We don't have to live like this

The tide is rising forth, don't get lost in it

The tide is rising forth, break your bonds and live
