Lyrics

A baby girl without a home Tragedy's reign left her alone I guess I shoulda known better But she's a citizen of the world A right to life her cry's unheard I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better Headlines are real or just the news Between the lines there's human truth I guess I shoulda known better Each day I'm faced with irony but Just can't feel casual about casualties no I guess I shoulda known better I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better It's never the critic that counts Cause critics only wanna talk While enlightened minds and open hearts Together make this world a better place Awakening a better choice It only starts if you lift your voice And say I shoulda known better And so next time I'll know better Why why why why Part of the revolution Ready for real solutions We won't accept excuses We tolerate no abuses Cause I don't want my face to be That poster child for being naive Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better Why why why why I guess I shoulda known better
