Tonart: E major
Verse 1
G
I want to be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're
A
drowning and weak in the knees
Bm
I want to speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think
A
that they've got a disease
D
I want to be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering
G
what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you
A
know that you really believe
Bm
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's
A
D
things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence
every time our eyes meet.
A

Verse 3
G
I want to see through all the lies of society
A
To the reality, happiness is at stake
Bm
I want to hold up my
head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give
A
means more than to take
D
I wan't to live beyond the
modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're
really taught to create
forgotten America?
A
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
Bm
Just need to get past all
the lies and hypocrisy
Make up and hair to the truth
D
That look around to all
the people you see,
G
How many of them are happy and free?
I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can
A
Bm
get me to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that
A
D
something here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of
today must carry the light.
