Straylight Run - Who Will Save Us Now lyrics

Some of us are born,

And then some of us are born again.

Some of us are scared to death,

And some just don't believe in it.

Something's always wrong.

There's a line.

An idea I can't get behind.

No one knows what's right.

Some try.

Some just try to find a king.

They say,

"Who will save us now?"

It's our life,

But we don't want to live it.

We want to be told how,

By something or someone,

Who's better than us.

Who we know we can trust.

Who will always protect us.

Keep us scared to death.

So we never ask questions.

We'll dictate the consequences of our actions,

And give us peace of mind about our miserable lives,

And find it content.

All we want is a place we can hide.

We can hide.

So we've always fought our wars,

For what we're told we're dying for.

Land and love and god and wealth.

The men in charge protect themselves.

You can rest assured,

It's the young and the poor who fought all our wars.

Led to death by men who they chose,

And hoped would protect them.

And who will save us now?

It's our life but we don't want to live it.

And all you'll get is down,

'Cause the people you elect to protect your best interests will just,

Protect themselves and their investments.

And even the few with the best of intentions,

Will just push their views.

What they think is right for you and everyone else.

You can't think for yourself

You've chosen to let someone else do it for you.

For you.

So we're left to drift between our waking lives and all our dreams.

Reality is relative,

And that's all the advice I'll give.

Life and death are hard.

They're such strange and complicated issues.

So listen listen well,

For insight.

And no one knows what's right for you.

Who will save us now?

It's a wrong,

And irrelevant question,

'Cause we figure it out,

With the people who love us.

Who call us our brothers.

Through lessons we've learned,

From our fathers and mothers.

Not looking for someone to find our solutions.

To fight all our battles,

Or show us what truth is,

But working hard to find our own peace of mind.

Living and learning till we know what's right for our lives, our lives.
