lyrics

Question one life, what is it for?
Sex, fun, money, maybe something more?
It's easy to be comatose when nothing seems to change
Turn off that TV, it's shrinking your brain.

Turn on your head
Turn on your ears
Turn on your eyes
It's time to prove you're alive

Complain about the system from time to time
Think the problem will go away if you just give it time
Years and months go by and nothing seems to change
It's time to start living the life we sang!

Turn on your head
Turn on your ears
Turn on your eyes
It's time to prove you're alive

And there is still a place
Where due to race
Someone is not looked at the same
And there is still a place
Where sexual preference brings disgrace
Someone is called a name
And there is still a place
Where a woman is judged
By the beauty of her skin
There is still a place. There is still a place. There is still a place
Of suffering.

What I'm trying to say in a simple way
Is every decision you make has the power to change
So if you have the choice between
Fucking someone and helping them out
Try helping them out!
Because in the end, underneath the bullshit
There's you and me, me and you
We are all the same

So if you have a choice - make it!
If you have a chance - take it!
Chained to the past - break it!
It's up to you and me

If you have a choice - make it!
If you have a chance - take it!
Chained to the past - break it!
It's up to you and me

Turn on your head
Turn on your ears
Turn on your eyes
It's time to prove you're alive
