Verse:
N.C.
We’re not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies and
ruined our streams
We’re not the ones who made the nuclear bombs that threaten our lives
We’re not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We’re not the ones who made the streets unsave to walk at night
C Cadd2 A
And if we try and not become so overwhelmed
C Cadd2 A
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
C Cadd2 A
Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
C Cadd2 A
They’ll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why
