[Verse 1]
Where is this gonna end
We got people dyin' on the old front step
I won't sit back and wait
See what we will become

We're lookin' around to see the things that we found
We're beginning to realize that we're drifting too far
I can't sit back and wait see what we will become

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day that I wake up
Wondering 'round this rock to find it's all the same again Nothing seems to change

When it all starts to break up
And don't fool yourself, it will, and all we've done has been in vain
I won't take the blame

[Chorus]
Oh, I won't waste my time closing my mind in ease
You see I've made my choice between love and fear
You can waste all your life, hide 'till you disappear
If you can't see me and where we are
Then I feel your children's tears, oh

[Verse 2]
When are we gonna mend
Our parasitic brain on this earth we land
And then what?
We'll move on again and again, oh
I don't know about you but I don't want to be
Part of a planet-eating race, I need a conscious that's clean
I can't sit back and wait, see what we will become

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day that I wake up
Wondering 'round this rock to find it's all the same again Nothing seems to change

[Chorus]
Oh, I won't waste my time closing my mind in ease
You see I've made my choice between love and fear
You can waste all your life, hide 'till you disappear
If you can't see me and where we are
Then I feel your children's tears, oh

[Guitar solo and scat singing]

[Chorus]
Oh, I won't waste my time closing my mind in ease
You see I've made my choice between love and fear
You can waste all your life, hide 'till you disappear
If you can't see me and where we are
Then I feel your children's tears, oh

[Outro/Verse 1]
Where is this gonna end
We got people dyin' on the old front step
I won't sit back and wait
See what we will become
