Songs of Tomorrow

We're runnin' towards the future,
Being chased by the past,
Sometimes, it seems, that memories,
Are the only things that last

(And we sing...about everything...)

We sing! Songs about tomorrow!
And songs about today!
Songs about forgiveness!
And songs about all our pain!
We sing! Songs about forever!
And all the things we fear!
About how forever became never,
Washed away, by all our tears

We sing songs...of tomorrow...

We're runnin' from the demons,
That hide in all our souls,
And no matter what they do to us,
We refuse to let them go

(And we sing...about everything...)

We sing! Songs about your mother!
And songs about our God!
Songs about how we lost our faith!
'Cause standing up was too damn hard!
We sing! Songs about our passion!
About the pleasure we stand to gain!
Songs about everything we steal!
And everyone we encase in chains!

We sing songs...of tomorrow...

We sing songs...about the homeland,
About one-night stands,
About how nothing ever, truly,
Can define a man,
About how we'd care like you want us to,
But we just don't give a damn!

We sing! Songs about the anger!
That we feel deep inside!
But we forget the danger!
When we turn out the lights!
We sing! Songs about our lovers!
And songs about our kids!
About how we're glad we have them!
About how we wish we never did!
We sing! Songs about our enemies!
And about all of our friends!
We justify our hate to the one!
To the other, we make ammends!
We sing! Songs about pollution!
Even as we add our poison to the sea!
I hope to God, for my own sake!
I'm not here when this world bleeds!

We sing...songs about the trees,
About the breeze,
The birds and bees,
About how life,
Drives us to our knees,
Always wishing,
For someone to save us, please...

(Please...please...)

(Someone save us please, someone help us please)

We're runnin' from the sorrows,
That we hope to leave in our wake,
But I think that life has shown quite clearly,
You can never get away from your mistakes

(And we sing...about everything...)

We sing! Songs about last Monday!
And songs about our blues!
Songs about twenty years from now!
And what we stand to lose!
We sing!
Songs about tomorrow,
And songs about today,
Songs about forgiveness,
And songs about all our pain
We sing! Songs about forever,
And all the things we fear,
About how forever became never,
Washed away, by all our tears

We sing songs...of tomorrow...

We're runnin' towards the future,
Being chased by the past,
Sometimes, it seems, that memories,
Are the only things that last

We're runnin' from the demons,
That hide in all our souls,
And no matter what they do to us,
We refuse to let them go

We're runnin' from the sorrows,
That we hope to leave in our wake,
But I think that life has shown quite clearly,
You can never get away from your mistakes

So we sing...songs of tomorrow
So we sing...songs of tomorrow
So we sing...

Songs of tomorrow...
