Do you know the cost of future misery?   Have you lost your sense of sustainability?   We are just a step away   from realizing what we strive to be   but we've got to break out   from this insulated blind and lame senility      Wake up the new america   wo-oh!   Transcend the mass hysteria   wo-oh!   change is the thing you're wary of   wo-oh!   we need a new america   wo-oh!      Laurels, human triumph,   bestowments from the past   victories don't mean a thing   if they don't last      We are just marching toward extinction   with blinders on our eyes   jeopardizing everything   we've learned and come to realize   you call that wise?      Open your eyes america   wo-oh!   See through the lies they tell to us   wo-oh!   Confront the fears that worry us   wo-oh!   We need a new america   wo-oh!      We don't have to be afraid to re-invent   we've got to start to build,   progress, and implement   for when we take our fill,   and never pay the price   we only build ourselves a fleeting,   false paradise      You can live in staunch denial   and mark me as your enemy   but I'm just a voice among the throng   who want a brighter destiny   they say with me      We are the new america   wo-oh!   This is the new america?   wo-oh
