We see it on TV, we get calls on the phoneBy the prophets of doom, they won't leave us aloneThe planet is dying and there's no time to spareThey spend all our days sowing seeds of despairWe get enough bad news to harden our heartsThis fear that we feed on is what's keeping us apartTo say that we're doomed is just an obvious remarkAnd it don't make you right, it just keeps you in the darkCHORUSI don't want to live angry, I don't want to live scaredI don't need no more prophets crying, "Brother beware."Just put some work in my hands and give me a dollar to spareAnd don't let me sow those seeds of despairWell, this earth is a graveyard, it will swallow our bonesIt was here long before us, it will be here when we're goneAnd it's a vain generation that looks for a signDon't you think we could make better use of our timeYeah, the air could be cleaner and the water could be, tooBut what we do to each other are the worst things that we doAnd we can treasure our freedoms behind our locked doorsBut God speed the day when we're lonely no moreCHORUS------------------------------------------------------------------------------
