You stand there trying to explain life
A mystery you cannot follow,
And I’m telling you
It can’t be done this way
Your words tell nothing but a tale
Of heroes who prevail
An excitement in the blood

This is your spiel
But I need something more real
I’m too old for the fairytale
With its knight in shinning mail

Show me a path
That I can follow
That avoids all the sorrow
That comes from just surviving
And never thriving
In this barren wasteland

I’ve lived on the lies
The fantasy of this reality
All its hypocrisy
And its failed democracy,
Listened to the peoples sighs

But I need proof of change
I need to know you’re telling the truth
About a world I cannot see
So show me the path
The one that I must follow to be free
