do you know the cost of future misery?
have you lost your sense of sustainability?
we are just a step away
from realizing what we strive to be
but we´ve got to break out

from this insulated blind and lame senility

wake up the new america
wo-oh!
transcend the mass hysteria
wo-oh! wo-oh!
change is the thing you´re wary of
wo-oh! wo-oh!
we need a new america
wo-oh! wo-oh!

laurels, human triumph,
bestowments from the past
victories don´t mean a thing
if they don´t last

we are just marching toward extinction
with blinders on our eyes

jeopardizing everything
we´ve learned and come to realize
you call that wise?

open your eyes america
wo-oh! wo-oh!
see through the lies they tell to us
wo-oh! wo-oh!
confront the fears that worry us
wo-oh! wo-oh!
we need a new america
wo-oh! wo-oh!

we don´t have to be afraid to re-invent
we´ve got to start to build,
progress, and implement
for when we take our fill,
and never pay the price

we only build ourselves a fleeting,
false paradise

you can live in staunch denial
and mark me as your enemy
but I´m just a voice among the throng
who want a brighter destiny

they say with me
we are the new america
wo-oh! wo-oh!
this is the new america?
wo-oh wo-oh!
we are the new america
wo-oh! wo-oh!
this is the new america?
wo-oh! wo-oh!
