"Failed State" lyrics

"Failed State"

We get torn apart
All our lives
Told that we're useless or gifted
Loved or despised
Too many generations passed
And passing
But all their progress
Lost its meaning
We call it evolution
You call it a crime
But as we run
From your culture
You're running out of time

Self immolation?
Just to keep you warm tonight
(Passing through)
How far could this world go
To reject you

I - will not fall in line
I - will not break in time
We can rebuild this,
Beyond
All our lives
