"Information" lyrics

"Information"

Hold ya back from a long way down
You can tell me you're feelin' 'round
For the things you lost, for the things you found
When you were younger than you're feelin' now
When you were younger than you're feelin' now

We can all get lost in time
We can read the papers, fine
But you'll lose your heart and you'll waste you mind
If the information doesn't make you kind
We want the information to make us kind

But if you put up a wall to protect your side
And you stuff your faces with mean old lies
This is how you will kill and die
America
Give us all an open road
Give us all a hand to hold
[?] understand how to make things whole
America

What holds you back from a long way down
What gets you grown up from the ground
Doin' somethin' more than just sittin' 'round
You won't get younger than you're feelin' now
You won't get younger than you're feelin' now

So don't get lost, too lost in time
When you read the papers, find
How not to lose your heart or to waste your mind
'Cause we want the information to make us kind
We want the information to make us kind

Well if you put up a wall to protect your side
And you stuff your faces with mean old lies
This is how you will kill and die
America
Won't you give a hand, a hand to hold
Give us all an open road
So you can understand how this world rolls
Give us all an open road
America
