"Michigan" lyrics

Pencil and paper, worn out eraser
Information must get through
Chasing the tiger, a jungle of fire
Burn out the bliss that we once knew

All around the world, the wheels are turning
Can we carry the weight of what we're learning?

Fables and theories, the old and the weary
Paving the way to a time gone by
Noble intentions, a prophet's ascension
Hail to the king of the media

All around the world, the wheels are turning
Can we carry the weight of what we're learning?

The revolution's here, a shot was never fired
No one shed a tear, 'cause nobody noticed
Now the time has come to gather up your guns
And set them all aside and let your foolish pride be done

Born of illusion, world of confusion
A child will lead us to the light
All around the world, the wheels are turning
Can we carry the weight of what we're learning?
Do we dare take a look into the mirror?
As the truth of our fate keeps getting clearer
