Better Than We Found It

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 nothin' 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 wolves at the door are covered in blue
Shouldn't we try somethin' new?
We're over the 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 nothin' 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've build 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 nothin' about it?
Can we leave this world better than we found it?

America, America
