"We Don't Need It"

[Verse:]

Lost on the street because you don't know what to do,

There's something in your heart that's coming over you,

SOMETHING IN YOU-

SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

It takes you back to a better time and place,

The leaders of this world have shortchanged the human race,

SOMETHING IN YOU-

SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

[Chorus:]

We've spent our lives living in their past,

Now we're building, building a new future.

We've spent our lives living in their past,

Now we're building, building a new future.

We've spent our lives living in their past,

One look at the world and it promts these words,

"WE DON'T NEED IT!"

[Verse:]

The state of The State, it makes you feel sick,

Back stabbing, dollar driven status quo shit!

SOMETHING IN YOU-

SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

That's when you made a pledge to yourself,

"I'm gonna live my life to build a better world!"

SOMETHING IN YOU-

SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

[Chorus:]

We've spent our lives living in their past,

Now we're building, building a new future.

We've spent our lives living in their past,

Now we're building, building a new future.

We've spent our lives living in their past,

One look at the world and it promts these words,

"WE DON'T NEED IT!"

[Bridge:]

Take a good look at the sad state of the world,

(sad, state)

Don't you know it starts with you and that it starts with me?!?!

This is the new fucking millennium (BRAND NEW AGE!)

We're going to turn the world UPSIDE DOWN! (ON IT'S HEAD!)

It's time to show some true humanity,

And time to show we truly care...

For the world,

For each other,

For those we've known...

Through all our years.

[Chorus:]

We've spent our lives living in their past,

Now we're building, building a new future.

We've spent our lives living in their past,

Now we're building, building a new future.

We've spent our lives living in their past,

One look at the world and it promts these words,

"WE DON'T NEED IT!"
