"Rule #38 - Elders" lyrics

I've been pounding the pavement
Searching for the things I can control
Yet I've felt estrangement
With this world I used to know
Seems everything's changing
Maybe we could slow to catch our breath
I'm worried we're moving
At a rate we will regret

Elder, won't you let us decide
I'd like to heal from greed and the lies
Elder, won't you please move aside
Give us the gift of a bright set of eyes

I've been coping with strangers
We've been bonding through our pain
It carries the danger
That we'll break and go insane
It's simply not human
When you've torn your soul to eat
Won't you think of their children
That must bear the stress they've seen

Elder, won't you let us decide
I'd like to heal from greed and the lies
Elder, won't you please step aside
Give us the gift of a bright set of eyes
