On an endless treadmill moving fast but going nowhere
Carelessly I see all others follow
Bearing down to make some ground, I see their efforts falter
Passion with a purpose
Hard to swallow
Careless, condescending types
They really make me nervous
I just don't understand that state of mind
Telling lies and searching for some useless information
While never knowing what they hope to find
I hope that soon
We can change
It's not too late
All the hopes and all the dreams
And all the inspiration
How can we just let it slip away
All the promises we made
To future generations
How can we just let it slip away
Drowning it a selfish, centered vision of a lifetime
Here today with no thought of tomorrow
With no consideration for the ones we leave behind us
Forgetting what we take
We only borrow
We can't go on
With no regard
For what we do
All the hopes and all the dreams
And all the inspiration
How can we just let it slip away
All the promises we made
To future generations
How can we just let it slip away
All the hopes and all the dreams
And all the inspiration
How can we just let it slip away
All the promises we made
To future generations
How can we just let it slip away
