When are we gonna grow up and accept responsibility
When are we gonna change up and respect the probability
Our culture has been bled and poetry is dead
Police beat it to the ground and then they shot it in the head
When are we gonna grow up and accept responsibility
When are we gonna change up and respect the probability
When are we gonna grow up a and accept responsibility
With human intervention 10,000 years ago
Torn apart by irrigation the civilization show
Brought to you by bad intentions and human lust for greed
Dictate our daily actions and sponsor slavery
When are we gonna make-up and unite our possibilities
Change our selfish ways and share our great abilities
Our causes must be just our unities a must
Ignore our petty differences and wipe away the dust
Our varieties of ignorance gotta share a deeper grave
Gotta reverse civilization while there's still something to save
Ya can pray all that you want but then there's really something more
But we gotta tear down their walls instead of knocking at their doors
When are we gonna wake-up and demand our civil liberties
Escape our mental cages and view our lives with clarity
When are gonna stand up and expect some kind of dignity
When are we gonna get up and accept the harsh reality
We'll have roles to play we fake 'em every day
And once again "don't you know there's gotta be a better way!"
Though written in my youth that lyric still has truth
And I read this in a comic book "ideas are bullet proof!"
With human intervention 10,000 years ago
Torn apart by irrigation the civilization show
Brought to you by bad intentions and human lust for greed
Dictate our daily actions and sponsor slavery
When are we gonna grow up and accept responsibility
When are we gonna stand up for our freedom and equality
The truth is crystal clear but it's been harvested by fear
And this simple crime occurs on every day of every year
But when the lies are dead and we see just how misled
We'll take all of the wicked ones and brick 'em in the head
Our aim will never miss oh what a joyful bliss
But until that fateful day we'll have to ask this
When are we gonna grow up and accept responsibility [x4]
When are we gonna make-up and unite our possibilities
Change our selfish ways and share our great abilities
When are we gonna grow up and accept responsibility
