I'll Never Know

I have so much on my mind
All left to rot inside
Child that I see on T.V.
Give anything to be me

Only because of my freedoms
Only because I can read
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Guess I'll be better off

What have we become
Can nothing be done
Why die by the gun
I'll never know

Feeling like Winston I sit
Slave to my T.V. screen
Black eyes of hate trained on me
Here come the thought police

Maybe because I'm a dreamer
Maybe 'cause I want to change this
That's why I'm losing my mind
Guess I'll be better off

I feel the end
Ya know we're all in denial
While we pretend
That everything's fine and dandy

Complain, complain
There's not enough for you and me
Our acid rain
Will wash away life completely

Maybe I'm losing my head
Guess I'll be better off...

And in all this time
We come to find
That we've barely made
A single change

And then soon we die
And what became
Of our short short lives
Will you be ashamed

I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know why
Show me
I see light outside
