I'm not here to blame you
You're so much like myself
Someone that ignorance takes over
And pushes down
I too feel like strangled
By will to do good
But the choices are so many
And every choice feels vain
And everybody's scared
And no one cares
We just leave our problems lying there
I am one of us
And so are they
And that makes us all
Responsible
Someday it will all shine through
Modern fools we are sharing one voice
I look towards my neighbour
And shut my mouth
So afraid of retorts
Judging my intentions
Don't you dare dis-speak about real life
Before you sharpen up your punchlines
And everybody's scared
And no one cares
We just leave our problems lying there
I am one of us
And so are they
And that makes us all
Responsible
Someday it will all shine through
One tiny moment's revelation
Seems it aches then fades to black
Like cherries light up the ashtray
Before the ash goes out
And everybody's scared
And no one cares
We just leave our problems lying there
I am one of us
And so are they
And that makes us all
Responsible
Everybody's scared
And no one cares
We just leave our problems lying there
I am one of us
And so are they
And that makes us all
Responsible
Someday it will all shine through
I was just a modern fool
