I see things happening, they fall before my eyes
Pretend I'm blind
Like I could never see the heartache that's not mine
And fills my head
Can I just laugh away
The sights that tear my soul and make me sick
No, I could never be so cold to look away

Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you want to live is up to you!

Wish I could be like you -
Indifferent to it all like life's a joke
Sarcastic, cynical, like everything's o.k
But it just won't work
In life you have to choose to stay at home and hide
Or stand up and fight!
If caring's my offense then I proudly stand accused
So how about you?

Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you want to live is up to you!
How you want to live is up to you!
How you want to live is up to you!
It's up to you!
