Oxygen (Live Version)

I wanna be better than oxygen,
so you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees.
I wanna speak louder than ridilin,
for all the children who think that they've got a disease.
I wanna be cooler than TV,
for all the kids that are wondering what they're going to be.
We can be stronger than bombs,
if you're singing along and you know that you really believe.
And we can be richer than industry,
as long as we know that theres things that we dont really need.
We can speak louder than ignorance,
cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and On and On it goes,
the world it just keeps spinning.
Untill Im dizzy, time to breathe,
So close my eyes and start again anew.
I look for heroes in my search for identity,
but none of them seem to be quite what they want me to think.
They're put together just like parts in a factory,
that builds personalities and sells them on TV.
I go and meditate for days in my closet,
to shut out these prophets who show me the ways i should be.
I wanna see through all the lies of society,
To the reality, happiness is at stake.
I wanna hold up my head with dignity,
pround of a life where to give means more than to take.
I wanna live beyond the modern mentality,
where paper is all that you really talk to create.
I know it sounds like a dream,
but it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night.
I know it's hard to believe,
but it's easy to see that something here isn't right.
I know the future looks dark,
but its there where the kids of today must carry the light.
On and on an on it goes,
the world it just keeps spinning.
Till I'm duzzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
