Lyrics

[00:50.000] I can't be held responsible
[00:56.000] for all the mistakes my parents made
[01:02.000] 'cause it's their generation
[01:07.000] that has left us a nation
[01:10.000] of waste and complacence and apathy
[01:17.000] I can't expect to follow the example of struggle my parents gave
[01:28.000] as they took to the street
[01:31.000] with no mind for defeat
[01:34.000] and condition to speak no to obey
[01:41.000] Time goes by and I've become
[01:54.000] than I could ever dream
[02:00.000] than I could ever know
[02:02.000] I could have done
[02:07.000] You can tell me bedtime stories and they all end well
[02:13.000] But I'm looking on the outside and it is clear that there is more to tell
[02:19.000] You can tell me bedime stories but they don't include suffering, injustice
[02:30.000] that you can't explain and must dilute
[02:32.000] And I am listening to what she said
[02:49.000] Time goes by and I've become
[03:02.000] than I could ever dream
[03:06.000] than I had ever know
[03:09.000] I could have done
[03:15.000] Time goes by (If I could tell you everytime I felt myself go along)
[03:21.000] and I've become (to the fashioning of self that's sold to the weakest and the dumb, it'd be)
[03:28.000] More than I could ever think
[03:32.000] than I could ever dream
[03:35.000] I could have done
