Restraints were hoisted on at such an early age Straps were tightened in the class Scripts by the school sage Putting out the spark Left us in the dark Possibilities shut right down The cleaver of the uniform was handed down Treated like a clown Where are we going Where are we going What are we doing What are we doing Throwing it away like that What are you doing Throwing is away All that potential All that potential Trickling away like that We will refuse to be your clones or Work in someone's scheme Let a person find themselves not be part Of a machine that worships power and wealth We need our sanity A day will come when everyone will have Their due respect Hate will no longer be a twisted form of love Where are we going What are we doing Throwing it away like that What are you doing All that potential Trickling away like that Tell me where are we going What are we doing Throwing it away like that What are you doing All that potential Trickling away like that

Picture perfect on the surface Oh these illusions that we worship I see the walls, see the walls coming down I hope someday we'll build 'em up on solid ground Consequences go unnoticed Like the weight that's on our shoulders Pulling us down, pulling us down, but we don't know it Or maybe we do, but just like the truth, we never show it We don't need more money 'Cause money ain't the problem baby What are we becoming 'Cause we've lost more time than we'll ever get back And we need something to keep us on track Where are we going Where are we going Runnin' circles around walls that we've built Chasing never ending feelings of guilt Where are we going Where are we going Everything makes sense on paper Surface level's always safer Don't let 'em in, don't let 'em in in case they find out Somewhere within, under the skin's where you hide out We need more than cunning Words that don't solve nothin' What are we becoming 'Cause we've lost more time than we'll ever get back And we need something to keep us on track Where are we going Where are we going Runnin' circles around walls that we've built Chasing never ending feelings of guilt Where are we going Where are we going Where are we going Where are we going Maybe we've had the map all along, but we just didn't know it Maybe we've been so wrapped up in the world That we missed the point and now it's showin How can we turn it around to hear the sound of inner peace Maybe it's simpler than we think it should be Where are we going Where are we going Where are we going Where are we going

Day in, day out Sidewalk sleepers turn about Day by day, the work gets done And day by day, another war goes on Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'? Where? Day in and day out A little boy and girl are goin' out And day by day, baby's babies are born And day by day, people say, "Right on" Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'? Where? Day in and day out It all gets better, the people shout And day by day, the flames get higher Lies and hate, they fuel the fire Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'? Where? Where are we going? And what's the future showin'? Where are we headin'? With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'? Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are we going? With all that's goin' on, where are we gettin'?
