Brightside - The World lyrics

We like to think we're smart We like to think that we advance Compiled information isn't taken to heart It's in the home, it's the hand But I'm not gonna sit around and wait Is it just a moment in the life? We accept what they give, and give in Is it a reflection of the times? Modern minds Modern age We are indifferent to change We don't intend to act Unless we're told to pretend We don't intend on challenging the world as it spins But we'll protect our right to stand But I'm not gonna sit around and wait The human is water, is fire, is peace, and pain It's simple, but the closer that we look, we find it Harder to explain Gaps in generation after generation Frame by frame
