Look at this place around us
Look at all the people
Watching and waiting
And looking for something thatʼs thereʼs for the taking Something to make sense out of this crazy world that weʼre living in Out of this ultimatum that weʼre dealing with
Just look at the morning paper or the evening news Weʼre all used and abused
And weʼre forced to choose
Should we give ‘em hell or give ‘em shoes?
Or drop a few more bombs away
Or outlaw guns and donʼt let kids pray
Camo or the Rainbow
What about the shade of grey?
We ainʼt gotta choose sides today
We ainʼt gotta choose sides tomorrow
Let the kids go out and play
Weʼre gonna be ourselves today
Walking down the street
Never felt so much like a ghost town
Everybodyʼs walking around
Smiles upside down, staring at the ground
But every now and then
You know/when we look up at the sky
We all wonder why
Is there anyone up there?
Why canʼt he hear us cry?
We ainʼt gonna find God today
We ainʼt gonna find God tomorrow
Let the kids go out and play
Weʼre gonna be ourselves today
If you wanna fight all the good in life you can
And if you wanna believe that your hate will get us anywhere Then you can stand beside yourself all alone at the end of the road And for the rest of us, weʼll do fine on our own
Yeah, weʼll do fine on our own
Weʼre gonna be ourselves today
Weʼre gonna be ourselves tomorrow
Let the kids go out and play
Weʼre gonna be ourselves today
(Weʼre gonna be ourselves, weʼre gonna be ourselves)
We ainʼt gotta choose sides today
We ainʼt gonna find God tomorrow (No, no, no) But everythingʼs gonna be okay
Weʼre gonna be ourselves today
