Not the One |
| I‘m not the one who made the world what it is today |
| I‘m not the one who caused the problems started long ago |
| But now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times |
| I carry on and never once have even questioned why |
| I‘m innocent |
| But the weight of the world is on my shoulders |
| I‘m innocent |
| But the battles started are far from over |
| We‘re not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night |
| We‘re not the ones who‘ve kept minorities and women down |
| Still we grow and then the problems they become our own |
| We carry on without even realizing why |
| We‘re innocent |
| But the weight of the world is on our shoulders |
| We‘re innocent |
| But the battles left us are far from over |
| We‘re not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies |
| And ruined our streams |
| We‘re not the ones who made the nuclear bombs |
| That threaten our lives |
| We‘re not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands |
| We‘re not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night |
| And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed |
| And if we make some contribution to the plight we see |
| Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today |
| They‘ll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why |
