As I   Was taught to lead   I was fed well   On what had come before   Everyone   Who had ever lived   Left a lesson   Regarding what's in store      They   Were just like you and me   Guessing their asses off   Oh yes, they tried to guess well      It's our turn now   I hope we're forgiven   Chalk it up to knowledge and change   And life itself      And as I   Shall learn to follow   I'll feed the leaders   With everything I can   They'll   Bring revolutions   That try as I may   I just won't understand      They   Will be just like you and me   Pretending they're not guessing   As if we couldn't tell      It'll be their turn then   I hope we can forgive them   Chalk it up to knowledge and change   And life itself      It seems a cycle that we all seem to share   The passing from hand to hand of our pride   and despair   Both parents and child cry apathy but every-   body cares      And then we vanish in thin air   And only time is there   Time and a legacy...      History holds questions for everyone   A story that's only just begun   Blind passed the goddamn horizon   Sees more than father less than son   Life and death merely pretending   We're part of the infinite ending      We   Are gonna teach and learn   We're gonna get fed well   And then we shall feed   We   We are ancient   We are brand spanking new      We shall follow and lead      Cause we   Are simply you and me   In proving our traditions   On the brink of heaven and hell      We each get a turn   And then we're forgiven   And we call it knowledge and change   And life itself   And we call it knowledge and change   And life itself   And we call it knowledge and change      And life...
