Not The One
Offspring I'm not the one who made the world what it is today But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago I carry on and never once have even questioned why (yeah) I'm innocent But the weight of the world is on my shoulders (yeah) I'm innocent But thet battles started are far from over We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night Still we grow and then the problems they become our own We carry on without even realizing why We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down But the weight of the world is on our shoulders (yeah) We're innocent We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies (yeah) We're innocent But thet battles started are far from over And ruined our streams We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs That threaten our lives Wer'e not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night And if we make some contribution to the plight we see Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why |
