Better Than We Found It

If you don't like it, then get the hell out

That's what they yell when I open my mouth

A stick is a stick, a stone is a stone

But who's gonna care if I don't

Who's gonna change if I won't

When time turns this moment to dust

I just hope that I'm proud of the woman I was

When lines of tomorrow are drawn

Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?

Will we sit on our hands, do nothing about it

Or will we leave this world better than we found it?

Over and under and above the law

My neighbor's in danger, who does he call?

When the wolf's at the door all covered in blue

Shouldn't we try something new?

We're over a barrel and at the end of one too

When time turns this moment to dust

I just hope that I'm proud of the woman I was

When lines of tomorrow are drawn

Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?

Will we sit on our hands, do nothing about it

Or will we leave this world better than we found it?

America, America, divided we fall

America, America, God save us all

From ourselves and the hell that we built for our kids

America, America, we're better than this

When time turns this moment to dust

I just hope my son's proud of the woman I was

When lines of tomorrow are drawn

Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?

Will we sit on our hands, do nothing about it

Can we leave this world better than we found it?

America, America
