Disillusioned (Remix)

[intro] [verse 1] Disillusioned by the hate Feeling unsure about the fate (...of the world) We condemn, we censor, we mob We do it all in the name of some god We pillage the lands of the innocent We measure lives by dollars & cents Society is governed by the rich elite To stay in power they lie and cheat The cost of living soars to new heights But an honest wage won't keep on the lights We build laws for gods we've never met And criminalize any choices that upset We enforce control on our fellow man And fear anything we don't understand The pursuit of happiness is just a lie And only care when it affects our own life [chorus] Where do we go from here We clamber for more in high gear Leveling our planet without fear A society of people that hold nothing dear Two steps forward, three steps back A fractured society barely intact A history that reads like a cautionary tale Still we speed forward on this highway to hell Where do we go Where do we go from here [verse 2] Now in the dawn of a new age Technology made us turn a page Influencers get rich posting online While teachers barely make enough to survive Algorithms shape the thoughts we share Selling outrage while nobody cares Truth gets buried beneath the noise Distracted by an endless stream of toys Artificial minds now learn and grow Yet wisdom seems the first thing we let go Connected to the world through every screen But somehow we’ve never felt so unseen [chorus] Where do we go from here We clamber for more in high gear Leveling our planet without fear A society of people that hold nothing dear Two steps forward, three steps back A fractured society barely intact A history that reads like a cautionary tale Still we run head long knowing we’ll fail Where do we go Where do we go from here [bridge] Maybe we’re not too far gone Maybe the answer’s been here all along A little more compassion, a little less pride Listening to each other instead of choosing sides The future isn’t written in stone It’s built by the choices we make on our own If we’re the problem, then surely it’s clear We’re also the ones who can change what happens here [chorus] Where do we go from here Is it too late to finally shift gears Loving our planet without fear A society united in what we hold dear Two steps forward, back on track A planet of people picking up the slack A history that reads like a cautionary tale Learning from mistakes so we don’t fail Where do we go Where do we go from here [outro]
