do you know the cost of future misery?

have you lost your sense of sustainability?

we are just a step away

from realizing what we strive to be

but we've got to break out

from this insulated blind and lame senility

wake up the new america

wo-oh!

transcend the mass hysteria

wo-oh!

change is the thing you're wary of

wo-oh!

we need a new america

wo-oh!

laurels, human triumph,

bestowments from the past

victories don't mean a thing

if they don't last

we are just marching toward extinction

with blinders on our eyes

jeopardizing everything

we've learned and come to realize

you call that wise?

open your eyes america

wo-oh!

see through the lies they tell to us

wo-oh!

confront the fears that worry us

wo-oh!

we need a new america

wo-oh!

we don't have to be afraid to re-invent

we've got to start to build,

progress, and implement

for when we take our fill,

and never pay the price

we only build ourselves a fleeting,

false paradise

you can live in staunch denial

and mark me as your enemy

but I'm just a voice among the throng

who want a brighter destiny

they say with me

we are the new america

wo-oh!

this is the new america?

wo-oh
