for all the mistakes my parents made
'cause it's their generation
that has left us a nation
of waste and complacence and apathy
I can't expect to follow the example of struggle my parents gave
as they took to the street
with no mind for defeat
Time goes by and I've become
than I could ever dream
than I could ever know
I could have done
You can tell me bedtime stories and they all end well
But I'm looking on the outside and it is clear that there is more to tell
You can tell me bedime stories but they don't include suffering, injustice
that you can't explain and must dilute
And I am listening to what she said
Time goes by and I've become
than I could ever dream
than I had ever know
I could have done
Time goes by (If I could tell you everytime I felt myself go along)
and I've become (to the fashioning of self that's sold to the weakest and the dumb, it'd be)
More than I could ever think
than I could ever dream
I could have done
