Lyrics
Laid back, got your problems set aside
Watching the world go by is such a seductive high
You think having no responsibility, being out of touch with reality is a rush
So what do you do about the problems of the world we live in
How can you say you don't care
Don't say we never had a chance
You never knew what we could be
Our lives are in each other's hands
It's up to you it's up to me
Get off your ass take a stand
The cost of doing nothing isn't free
The cost of doing nothing, nothing
Wake up
The illusion that we cannot make a difference is such deceptive lie
Don't trust that Big Brother and no other is who's looking out for you until you die
I'm not being paranoid but we can't let things go to hell, then ask ourselves why
Don't say we never had a chance
You never knew what we could be
Our lives are in each other's hands
It's up to you it's up to me
Get off your ass take a stand
The cost of doing nothing isn't free
The cost of doing nothing
How can we lay back
When the world's off track
Hanging by a thread
Soon we could all be dead
Don't say we never had a chance
You never knew what we could be
Our lives are in each other's hands
It's up to you it's up to me
Get off your ass take a stand
The cost of doing nothing, nothing
Why don't we take another chance
There's so much more that we could be
Our lives are in each other's hands
It's up to you it's up to me
Get off your ass take a stand
The cost of doing nothing isn't free
Free
