Still unsure about some parts...but I think this is closer. :)
The shortness of time turns life into a race
The young think they’re winning, but the old have set the pace
We live for each moment and we must prepare for our feelings to deceive our thoughts
Tomorrow’s not worth a care
Humans so susceptible to be addicted to feeling more
Philosophers around the world, down the street and through the door
Listen to the loudest sound
Pick and smell the finest flowers
Come back and say you’ve seen it all
Tomorrow matters a little more
Welcome all experience, hope we’ll find hope
Hope for tomorrow and live for today
If tomorrow’s worth living for, tomorrow will be worth dying for
Like the slaves, we are chained to the day
There will be a revolution
My soul is sick and my heart’s polluted
There are demons that threaten my freedoms
The time to bear arms is now
Well it’s easy to feel happy when you’re high
And it’s easy to feel free when it’s sport for choice
And fear creeps up on you slowly
When you’re shopping for a Bentley or a new Rolls Royce
Do you see all this?
Think it'll ease your pain?
Think that without it you’ll go insane?
If you’re young and ambitious get your foot in the door
First, find me a rich man who doesn’t want more
It’s easy to love without giving your love
It’s not easy to love when you think you’re above
Even harder to hope when you’re hanging from a rope
And what’s beneath your feet disappears when you sleep
Sanded outlaws are shifting
And the water in your hands is dripping
And the wind in your hair is moving faster than you
Seeing more, learning more, living what you could only dream to be true
Well life it’s hard and it leaves so fast
Is there hope when you’re born and none when you pass?
Don’t you need to be beautiful to fall in love?
Don’t you need to feel thin to think you’re enough?
If you know someone loves you for the way that you are
If love is inside you, their beauty lives too
And that’s worth more than looking like Kate Moss
Being in society magazines and driving a Porsche
Then you will not fear how other people see your style
What will happen when you get old and tired
Being out alone in the dark in the world
When you can say you’re not afraid to die
You’re as free as the birds in the sky
There will be a revolution
My soul is sick and my heart’s polluted
There are demons that threaten my freedoms
The time to bear arms is now
The birds in the sky are free to escape the chains of the world
But must come back to sleep
We are in this world as far as we can tell to make new life and avoid the fires of hell
What is hell, have you given it a thought?
Is it punishment for allowing you soul to be caught?
Is it being burned alive when you beg for death?
But if you’re dead already and death time is lonely
And this time cannot save you, your heart will feel heavy
Still unsure about some parts...but I think this is closer. :)
