Forgive me for caring--have I said too much? Forgive me for caring--I haven't said enough (no, not enough)
In the spirit of youth we scream to defy all authority Call us young, dumb, naive, but we still believe... That change can be made!
Have you seen their hollow stares? Their wills broken beyond repair As entire lifetimes are spent working towards dead ends Domesticated like an animal That once was wild and free to roam Now packed tightly into cubicles with idle hearts and hands
And that is the life we must refuse, no matter what the cost Let's seize the day and steal everything--to live the lives for which we lust!
Here I am, laying bare my soul I give you me--my warts and all To live in pursuit of dreams often means stealing to eat And what have they to offer us? All things tangible return to dust So fuck them all Their pristine pomp and show Their gods we'll never know (deceit!)
Forgive me for caring--have I said too much? Forgive me for caring--I haven't said enough (never enough)
And for as long as I breathe the struggle may live But I'll clutch these dreams till the rigor sets in I may be swimming upstream but I won't relent I cannot accept the way it is
