What do you see on the news when you watch T.V.
War in the
name of God, or a playground killing spree
Politicians promise you the world, and a preacher cries
All he ever wanted was your
money, and a b***h on the side
What went wrong? Did society twist him?
What do you see in the center of the public eye
Rock
stars on smack, and a serial killer fries
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our from of art
Brainwash the youth, you know they
claim we all play a part
What a shame that they can't think for themselves
Past tense to future tense let history unfold
So
ends a decade now what will the nineties hold
You know we're verging on the edge of an age
Then another century will turn the
page
What do you think they will say when they look back on this
Were the eighties just a time of spoiled innocence
We leave
our legacy like dust in the sands of time
Let's hope the seeds we plant can carry the weight of our crimes
Past tense to future
tense let history unfold
And when we're old and gray these stories will be told
You know we're verging on the edge of an age
Then
another century will turn the page
We sail an ocean, a sea of doubt
Skeptics make no sense, can't work things out
I'll choose
optimism, scream its name
Look to the future, a burning flame
Past tense to future tense let history unfold
So ends a decade
now what will the nineties hold
You know we're verging on the edge of an age
Then another century will turn the page
Turn the
page.....
