Defiance, Ohio Chad's Favorite Song Lyrics

do you remember passion?
it's burried beneath a concrete world.
have you forgotten compassion?
are you in the middle of an ugly war
between yourself and a giant machine?
are you so tired you can't even dream anymore?

f___ this city, and f___ this filthy air.
let's build a-frames in the woods and just live there.
we'll all eat berries and build fires every night
and forget this mistake we call modern life.

i believe in something,
but i don't know what it is.
it's either the future or the end.
it's every reason that i do or don't get out of bed.

we live in the unhappy shadows
of skyscrapers, freight trains and malls
to a soundtrack of nuclear warheads and bombs.
addicted to power, addicted to authority, money, and success...
so far gone, without our addictions, do we even know how to live?

the sun is shining thru distant bitter clouds
that make me choke and cough and scream.
sitting here along watching acid raindrops fall,
this is not the life i want to lead.
