Yesterday I walked by the place the General Motors auto plant once had been
The very same ones who swore up & down that our folks would have futures
Without a change of expression they stole those dreams back again
Concrete jungle atmosphere outside
Are your ears prepared to drink in a couple dozen brand new lies?
Even our children see right through the things that you say
Well fuck the future, man, how are we going to get by today?
But we are probably the ones
To turn this lunatic hayride around
We started swinging before we even hit the ground
We might be the ones
Yesterday we took another hill with only 37 men and women killed
You know the suits back home, they consider it a fair exchange
Another footnote in the abattoir of history
But we are probably the ones
To grin and watch it all come crashing to the ground
Bare our teeth and laugh at the frightened scurrying of the crowds
We might just be the ones
We are probably the ones
To gain a new perspective on our lives
But will we loosen our grip upon the reins or simply watch as all hope dies?
We’ve got to be the ones
