Open Your Eyes

Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes
Is everything better?
Remember when you were a child.
Mama didn't change the laws
So you always knew right from wrong.
You didn't have to worry
About someone wanting your land
Or taking your home.

How can you look at the world today
And not get emotional?
How can you think that this would be ok
When everyone you love is hurting?
Have you gotten so used to ignoring the truth?
Can't you tell that they're lying?
Open your eyes
Is everything better?

Remember the dream
(That's the American dream)
Did they bust your bubble?
Now someone else is raising your kids
Just so they can tax you double.
Have you got so little
That you could lose so much
Don't you care any more?
Well I would rather live free
Than to die a slave
And I'm ready to back it up!

How can you look at the world today
And not get emotional?
How can you think that this would all be ok
When everyone you love is hurting?
Have you gotten so used to ignoring the truth?
Man, can't you tell that they're lying?
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Is everything better?
Is everything better?
Things can only get better.
