Wishing Well

Too much power in our hands Everything we do, we do for trend And the wicked ways that'll bring us to our end We sweep under the rug just to come right back up again Hysteria is commonplace The whole world is just one click away Everybody speaks before they think The media feeds on judgement day We let our kind rot in the street Even Uncle Sam won't guarantee that if You fight you'll have a place to sleep Don't sound Utopian to me So, Lord, don't rock the cradle and you better not rock the boat Any deviance of what's deemed worthy, sure to have us at your throat Words ain't worth a dime, more like pennies in a well You better hope and wish til' your last earned cent Cause copper don't spend in hell Well, they tried their best to raise us up To do your part and wait your turn You reckon schoolhouse rock just didn't work? Cause I'd love to see it all Crash and burn So, Lord, don't rock the cradle and you better not rock the boat Any deviance of what's deemed worthy, sure to have us at your throat Words ain't worth a dime, more like pennies in a well You'd better hope a wish til' your last earned cent Cause copper don't spend in hell
