We Decide Lyrics

We live in a time

That can go two ways

One towards Big Brother

One towards better days

One towards Big Brother

One towards better days

One is like an election

That no one ever wins

In a warehouse

With eight billion bins

One is like the ocean

Vast and very deep

But we gotta be careful

Of the habits that we keep

One is like a garden

With people working the land

Cultivating a vision

With hope on their hands

One is like a pyramid

Balanced on its tip

That launches a rocket

On an endless trip

We decide

It's up to me and you

We decide

What we want to do

We decide

Which way we want to go

But watch the undertow

One is like a story

With a struggle overcome

By people with hearts and minds

Dancing in the sun

One is like a promise

With a hand open wide

On a cloudy day

You just wanna stay inside

One is like a night

That never seems to end

Where the darkness comforts

Like a long lost friend

One is blue and red

Like a rainbow in a stream

Is it a reflection

Of a nightmare or a dream

We decide

It's up to me and you

We decide

What we want to do

We decide

Which way we want to go

But watch the undertow

We look around at the messy world

We desire something safe and strong

So we repeat the slogans, cheer the lies

Like the lyrics of a childhood song

And then we wake up in a 1000 days

And we can smell it in the air

Something, something is very wrong

We live in a time

That can go two ways

One towards Big Brother

One towards better days

One towards Big Brother

One towards better days
