Who Will Save Us Now Lyrics - The Needles The Space - Straylight Run

Some of us are born, and then 

Some of us are born again. 

Some of us are scared to death, 

And some just don't believe in it. 

Something's always wrong 

There's a line 

An idea I can't get behind 

No one knows what's right 

But some try 

And some just try to find a king 

They say 

Who will save us now 

It's our life 

But we don't want to live it 

We want to be told how 

By something or someone 

Who's better than us 

Who we know we can trust 

Who will always protect us 

Keep us scared to death 

So we never ask questions 

Who'll dictate the consequences of our actions 

And give us peace of mind about our miserable lives 

Confined and content, 

All we want is a place we can hide 

We can hide. 

So we've always fought our wars 

For what we're told's worth dying for 

Land and love and god and wealth 

But men in charge protect themselves 

You can rest assured 

It's the young and the poor who fought all our wars 

Led to death by men who they chose 

And hoped would protect them 

And who will save us now 

It's our life 

But we don't want to live it 

And all you'll get is down 

Cause the people you elect to protect your best interests 

Will just protect themselves 

And all their investments 

And even those few 

With the best of intentions 

Will just push their views 

What they think is right for you 

And everyone else 

You can't think for yourself 

Because you've chosen to 

Let someone else do it for you 

For you. 

So we're left to drift between 

Our waking life and all our dreams 

Reality is relative 

And that's all the advice I'll give 

Life and death are hard 

They're such strange and complicated issues 

So listen, listen well 

For insight -- 

No one knows what's right for you. 

Who will save us now? 

It's a wrong 

And irrelevant question 

'Cuz we figured it out 

With the people who love us 

Who call us our brothers 

Through lessons we've learned 

From our fathers and mothers 

Not looking for someone 

To find our solutions 

To fight all our battles 

Or show us what truth is 

By working hard to find our own peace of mind 

Living and learning till we know what's right for our lives 

Our lives.
