every man

whatever happened to the lives we had?

it was easy keeping people fed

but now they cry

there has to be a change

whatever happened to the virgin land?

now we're left with barely space to stand

the time has come

to open up our eyes

and if everyone

simply learns from the things we've done

before there's no place to run.you know

every man wants to sleep at night

he wants to feel secure and

it's still the same for every man

every man must be prepared to fight

now that we understand it

let's make it safe for every man

people standing in a welfare line

don't they know it's a waste of time

they can't survive

left hungry in the cold

how much longer can we make believe

that the air is really fit to breathe?

we can't sit by

and watch our futures fold

have we lost our souls?

are we digging a deeper hole?

then it's time that we took control

you know

every man wants to sleep at night

he wants to feel secure and

it's still the same for every man

every man must be prepared to fight

now that we understand it

let's make it safe for every man
