Lyrics

Some of us are born and then some of us are born again
Some of us are scared to death and some just don't believe in it
Something is always wrong
There's a lie, an idea I can't get behind
No one knows what's right, some try
Some try to find a king

They sing "who will save us now?
It's our life but we don't want to live it"
We want to be told by something or something who's better than us
Who we know we can trust
Who'll always protect us but keep us scared to death so we never ask questions
Who'll dictate the consequences of our actions and give us peace of mind about our miserable lives
Confined and content
All we want is a place we can hide

So we've always fought our wars for what we're told is worth dying for
Land and love and god and wealth but men in charge protect themselves
You can rest assured that it's the young and the poor who've fought all them
Our wars led to death by men who they chose and hoped would protect them

And "who will save us now? it's our life but we don't want to live it"
And all you'll get is down because the people you elect to protect your best interests
Will just protect themselves and all their investments
And even the few with thte best of intentions will just push their views
What they think is right for you and everyone else
You can't think for yourself because you've chosen to let someone else do it for you

So we're left to drift between our waking life and all of our dreams
Reality is relative and all that's all the advice I'll give
Life and death are hard
They're such strange and complicated issues
So listen and listen well for insight but no one knows what's right for you

"Who will save us now? it's a wrong and irrelevant question
Because we figure it out with the people who love us
Who call us mothers not looking for someone to find our solutions
Fight all our battles or show us what truth is
It's by working hard to find our own peace of mind
Living and learning until we know what's right for our lives
