Black Masks & Gasoline Lyrics - Singles - Rise Against

Simply because you can breathe 

Doesn't mean you're alive 

Or that you really live 

This life has taken its toll 

And she just doesn't know how much more she can give 

But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists 

They stand before me below demanding the answers with flips of a switch 

I don't understand where you got this idea 

So deeply engrained in your head 

(That this world) Is something that you must impress 

Because I couldn't care less

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

A need for revolution's rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air, 

We're not putting up with this planet one more day much less one more year 

I don't understand where you got this idea 

So deeply engrained in your head 

(That this world) Is something that you must impress, 

Because I couldn't care less 

So here and now, in our rotting nation 

The blood, it pours, it's all on our hands now 

We live, in fear, of our own potential 

To win, to lose, it's all on our hands now 

I have an American Dream 

But it involves black masks and gasoline 

One day I'll turn these thoughts into screams 

At a world turned its back down on me 

I don't understand where you got this idea 

So deeply engrained in your head 

(That this world) Is something that you must impress 

Because I couldn't care less
