We used to think that our ignorance is bliss   But we can't keep on thinking   That this moment doesn't exist   There's people fighting and fighting and fighting   For all that they own      It seems we twisted reality again   Looking for the opportunity for us to dig in   We're getting deeper and deeper and deeper   Into the unknown   (We've got to open up our eyes)      How long will we close our eyes to the youth?   How long until we recognize the truth?   How far will we let this go?      It's a state of emergency   It's time we see   There's a need to take action   This is a state of emergency   We're too blind to see   All of these simple distractions      All our attention is directed to the mirror   We want to forget that people live in terror   We're their only way out and the time is right now   We gotta grab a hold of this moment      How long will we close our eyes to the youth?   How long until we recognize the truth?   How far will we let this go?      It's a state of emergency   It's time we see   There's a need to take action   This is a state of emergency   We're too blind to see   All of these simple distractions      It's a state of emergency   It's time we see   There's a need to take action   This is a state of emergency   We're too blind to see   All of these simple distractions      How far do we let it go   Before we all take control   We are the hands, we are the feet   So we gotta go      Stop waiting for someone else   To take control   (Take back the control)   We could be their last hope      It's a state of emergency   It's time we see   There's a need to take action   This is a state of emergency   We're too blind to see   All of these simple distractions      It's a state of emergency   It's time we see   There's a need to take action   This is a state of emergency   We're too blind to see   All of these simple distractions
