Lyrics
Genesis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We don't really talk like we used to
Just 128 characters or less
And we don't really love like we used to
Is anyone willing to clean up the mess
Are children fit for our mistakes?
The planet is about to take a fall
What if it breaks, what will it cost?
Oh, we gotta take it back
All the way back to the beginning
We're gonna make it back
Back to the days when we were winning
Tell me we're not due for a change
I know I'm ready and willing
To die for this
Are you down for this?
Metamorphosis, genesis
We don't take a stand like we used to
We're always a dollar short or a day too late
Cause we don't give a damn like we used to
Just a whole lot of talking with nothing to say
Are children fit for our mistakes?
The planet is about to take a fall
What if it breaks, what will it cost?
Oh, we gotta take it back
All the way back to the beginning
We're gonna make it back
Back to the days when we were winning
Tell me we're not due for a change
I know I'm ready and willing
To die for this
Are you down for this?
Metamorphosis, genesis

Die for this
Are you down for this
Metamorphosis
Oh, we gotta take it back
All the way back to the beginning
We're gonna make it back
Back to the days when we were winning
Tell me we're not due for a change
I know I'm ready and willing
To die for this
Are you down for this?
Metamorphosis, genesis
