I've been around for quite a while,
And I think it's safe to say
I've witnessed things that I would like
To simply wish away
I've seen the people kill
And I've seen the people fight
But the hardest part of all
Was watching them put out the light
Way before your time
When the world was still on track
I know you'd rather just forget
But I wish we could go back
To when the flowers bloomed in spring
And the birds flew through the air
Back when if you needed water
There'd always be enough to spare
But then came the dark ages
Each person held a smoking gun
And a fear sank in across the world-
We were now slaves to the sun
And amidst all that commotion
And behind each child's tear
Was a guiltiness, without dispute-
We'd gotten ourselves here.
