SeeMoreGlass - Cory, What If We Don't Know Anything?

Been waking up to riots in the streets
When I sleep I'm always sweating through my sheets
I can't shut it off, Like the fluorescent light
Every single day is like the one before
Children trapped behind suburban closet doors
I watch the world erupt through radioactive screens
They tore down the high school by my house
To make room for a landfill
Where they taught us to care or not to care
But they could never really teach us to sit still.
I've grown weary of a world I can't explain
Generations building farms on stolen land
It makes me sick, like I'm in someone else's skin
I want to be the change that I don't see
Tarnished copper mixed with silver cutlery
Or a rooftop on the edge of a shattered world.
Well they tore down the high school by my house
To make room for a landfill
I watched my neighbors loose their homes to pay for
the prison on the hill
All those doctors kept us taking
All of those bitter paper pills
They want us to care when they don't care
But they could never really teach us to sit still.
While our mothers were leaving
Our daughters were dying in the fields
Our fathers were pleading
Our brothers never stop clicking their heels
And the men behind the curtains pull their strings
To bend our will
They want us to care when they don't care
But they could never really teach us to sit still.
Streets of gold they used to glisten in the twilight
And now the person I was then is someone I don't recognize
I finished high school went to college
Earned a paper bent my will
They want me to care when they don't care
But they could never really teach me to sit still
