Lyrics
I was born in a field by the riverside
Couldn't drink from the water for the pesticides
And my skin was crawling with toxins
I was born in a factory accident
I was held to the role I'd been assigned
Surveillance assailants on every side
Couldn't speak of the walls we were kept inside
I was already captive
A child is born, a fabric torn
The camera's on, and the shutter don't snap on back till the epitaph
I was born in the blue sky's underside
Couldn't breathe outdoors in the summertime
The police force outside every night
We were told for protection
A child is born, a fabric torn
The camera's on, and the shutter don't snap on back till the epitaph
Today we are the carnivores
Tomorrow we are the prey
For fish and worms, our flesh and bones are coming right up gourmet
Today we are the chosen ones
But tomorrow we'll have to pay
Though our days seem long, they've come and gone
We're standing somewhere halfway
And I know I am an aggregate of every one that's come before
A womb, an atom bomb, an elephant
So many voices at my core
But now we have a better choice
Tomorrow is not today
We'll make amends with arid lands
And sow a better seed
Today we have a louder voice
But tomorrow is on the way
We can't be resting in the past
Or we'll be the last we see
Or we'll be the last we see
Or we'll be the last we see
It's our home, we can be the charcoal
Making it a war zone, waking up the force of desolation
It's our home, we can be the charcoal
Making it a war zone, waking up the force of separation
It's our home, we can be the source of
Opening the doors up, making it a force of elevation
It's our home, we can be the source of
Opening the doors up, making it a force of emanation
Reformation
Revelation
Forward vision
