"Something New" lyrics

The funny thing about history
It keeps repeating what we got wrong
Religious wars to settling old scores
Ancient grudges we should have forgot
We all believe in our democracy
But the elections are bought by the rich
The establishment prefers the 1%
It's a fix that we just can't quit

How long will it take us to finally make something new?
When will we wake up and finally stop getting screwed
It's hypocrisy, not democracy and we're all being used
How long will it take us to make, make something new?

We all have ideas but when the government steals
Corruption wins out every time
Racist bigotry in forms of policy
And get the middle class to tow the line
It's time to make a democratic state
And give everyone an equal chance
Put an end to war and don't just bomb the poor
It's the only chance we really have

How long will it take us to finally make something new?
When will we wake up and finally stop getting screwed
It's hypocrisy, not democracy and we're all being used
How long will it take us to make, make something new?

I feel consensus coming on
Armed with the truth then we can't go wrong
The powers that be are consumed by greed
So what's there left to do?
How long will it take us to make, make something new?
Something new?
How long will it take us to make, make something new?
Something new?
Make something new?
