Do you know the cost of future misery? Have you lost your sense of sustainability? We are just a step away from realizing what we strive to be But we've got to break out from this insulated blind and lame senility Wake up the new America Transcend the mass hysteria Change is the thing you're wary of We need a new America Laurels, human triumph, bestowments from the past Victories don't mean a thing if they don't last We are just marching toward extinction with blinders on our eyes Jeopardizing everything we've learned and come to realize, you call that wise? Open your eyes, America See through the lies they tell to us Confront the fears that worry us We need a new America Now we don't have to be afraid to reinvent We've got to start to build, progress and implement For when we take our fill and never pay the price We only build ourselves a fleeting, false paradise Yeah, you can live in staunch denial And mark me as your enemy But I'm just a voice among the throng Who want a brighter destiny, they say with me We are the new America This is the new America We are the new America This is the new America
