I see it every day in the checkout line I see it every night when my girl plays online Kids learn rage from a glowing screen When the hell did people get so mean Sayin things from across the net Things they'd never say face to face Parents need to put them in their place Folks trade their names for a faster hit Sell their soul just to live in shit Laugh at pain like it’s harmless fun Then wonder why the good seems numb I’m not blind I’m not clean I’ve seen the cracks The in between If we want more Than this mess We gotta learn To stand up for what's best Wake up, evil Godless town Put the pretty lie down Wake up, evil Godless town We can turn this around Love in your hearts Faith in your mind Tell the truth And we'll break this bind! I watch them cheer when somebody falls Build their castle from a stranger’s walls Mouths so loud, but the soul so thin Everybody wants a crown But don't wanna invest the skin We leave our elders ignored and cold Teach our daughters to buy their mold I won’t hand my little one that script No, I won’t let her grow up like this I’m not blind I’m not done I know the cost Of what we’ve won If we want roots That stay alive Focus on truth and love Once again happiness will arrive! Wake up, evil Godless town Put the pretty lie down Wake up, evil Godless town We can turn this around Love in the heart Tell the truth Or we'll go back to the start Start at home Start with me Stop the hate Teach decency Protect the young Let the old be seen Make a world My girl can keep Wake up, evil Godless town Put the pretty lie down Wake up, evil Godless town We can turn this around Hands on hearts Eyes on the prize Tell the truth And good will rise! Wake up, evil Godless town We can turn this around
