|
You used to be as a child |
|
Full of hope and wonder |
|
Hey, now, do you remember those days |
|
Your mind was free and running wild |
|
Now the sound of thunder |
|
Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out |
|
You're running in a rat maze |
|
You better think about the legacy |
|
That you want to leave behind |
|
It's all getting burnt-out, used-up |
|
Bought and sold to the bottom line |
|
That ain't the way it's gotta be |
|
You can leave a better world than you find |
|
You can look down, turn aside, run away |
|
But you can't put it out of your mind |
|
'Cause it's your legacy |
|
Don't it make your heart bleed |
|
Passing through the meadowland |
|
Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like |
|
That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed |
|
Rev it up to five grand |
|
Shades on, top down |
|
But as you barrel down the turnpike |
|
You better think about the legacy |
|
That you're gonna leave behind |
|
Things are getting wasted out of hand |
|
People stealing each other blind |
|
Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be |
|
You can leave a better world than you find |
|
You can look down, turn around, run away |
|
But you can't put it out of your mind |
|
'Cause it's your legacy |
|
It isn't easy when you think your voice |
|
Doesn't matter to anyone |
|
Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do |
|
But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice |
|
To perpetuate the destruction |
|
Why don't you stand up, dig in |
|
When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you |
|
It's you |
|
It's your legacy |
|
Baby, whatcha gonna do about it |
|
You better think about the legacy |
|
That you want to leave behind |
|
Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up |
|
Sold to the bottom line |
|
Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be |
|
Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find |
|
You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide |
|
But you can't put it out of your mind |
|
'Cause it's your legacy |
|
Oh, your legacy |
|
Look here |
|
It's gotta start somewhere, Jack |
|
If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back |
|
Hey, you better get a plan of attack |
|
'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track |
|
Of your legacy |
