Verse 1:
We see a glacier melting
and a hurricane hits home
We go shopping at a mall
where animals once roamed
Our soldiers fight a losing war
in distant foreign lands
while the spirit of our country
is slipping through our hands
Pre-Chorus:
I dream of a world
with no child left behind
The winds of change are blowing
like storm clouds in my mind
Chorus:
Will future generations
be victims of our crimes?
The clock is slowly ticking
these are interesting times
The clock is slowly ticking
these are interesting times
Verse 2:
Diapers rotting in our landfills
for the next 500 years
genocides in Africa
but few of us shed tears
The politicians talk
but it's just more of the same
we're all sitting on the bench
not playing in the game
Pre-Chorus:
It's time to take a stand
use your voice and shout out loud
It's time to make a change
help one another and feel proud
Chorus:
Will future generations
be victims of our crimes?
The clock has started ticking
these are interesting times
Will the children of tomorrow
keep paying for our crimes?
The clock is slowly ticking
these are interesting times
Outro:
These are interesting times
These are interesting times
These are interesting times
These are interesting times
The countdown has begun
underneath the setting sun
can't we all just live as one
a revolution of our minds
These are interesting times
These are interesting times
These are interesting times
