David Taxin' - It's Not About Me

They call us generation X or generation Y
And say we wouldn't fight to live free or die
Cause we ain't had no depressions, ain't fought in no world wars
Say material possessions is our only cause
Cause we got everything we wanted, money, jewelry, cars
Satellite TV, DVD, VCRs
Say we're spoiled and self-possessive and that we'll pay the price
But we've never been tested or called to sacrifice
Untested, we ain't been tested
Untested, we ain't been tested
Untested, we aint' been tested, and here's our best

It's not about me, it's not about me anymore
It's all about we, it's all about we forevermore
It's not about me, it's not about life as before
It's not about me, it's all about we forevermore, forevermore
Sing it in the city, it's not about me
Sing it on the waters, it's not about me
Sing it in the country, it's not about me
Shout it at the borders, it's not about me

Sing it in the city, sing it on the waters
Sing it in the country, shout it at the borders
Sing it in the canyons, mountains and the prairie
Play it on Nashville guitar Hawaiian ukelele
Sing it in Montana, wheat fields of Nebraska
Shoals of Alabama, New York to Alaska
Sing it in the Dakotas, West to California
Down to Oklahoma, back on East to Georgia
Sing it in Colorado, on the Mississippi
Shout it at the Alamo, and on Mount McKinley
Sing it in the Capitol, echo through the Cascades
Shout it at the Liberty Bell, sing it in the Everglades
Sing it out on Plymouth Rock and at the OK Corral
And at the Annapolis dock, and at Cape Canaveral

Now we're being tested, we're being tested, we're being tested, and here's our best
It's not about me, it's not about me anymore
It's all about we, it's all about we forevermore
It's all about we, it's all about we forevermore
It's all about we, forevermore
It's all about we
