Why Won't We Change

I was born inside the Earth

I was born to be free

I met up with the morning

She turned and left my shadow and me

The sun destroyed the earth

While I sat back down and let it all be

How could I ignore the warning?

But still I stayed back and I let it all be

The books were burned the land decayed

We were propelled and darkness stayed

Now I miss the morning

Down with we surrender

Down where excuses all stay

Down with we surrender

We understand but why won't we change?

Drinking acid out of the rain

It burns my throat but it still tastes the same

How could I ignore the warnings?

I wish that I had learned to change

The books were burned the land decayed

We were propelled and darkness stayed

Now I miss the morning

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohhh!

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh ohhh!

Down with we surrender

Down where excuses all stay

Down with we surrender

We understand but why won't we change?

I said, the books were burned the land decayed

We were propelled and darkness stayed

Now I miss the morning

Down with we surrender

Down where excuses all stay

Down with we surrender

Yeah we understand but why won't we change?
