Schools teach us
Parents tell us
Society pushes us
and we believe
They say you can
They say you're able
They say it's up to you
and we believe
Problems are created
People are killed
Suffering is everywhere
and we believe
They say fix the problems
They say save the people
They say help the world
and we believe
You've the world in your hands
The clock's on the table
It's your turn now
and we believe
It's not what they say we need
It's not what they want
It's what they couldn't
and we've got to think
Note: The 4th line of each stanza is supposed to be indented but the format got messed up.
