For a long time 
I've had this on my mind 
Not willing to change my life for your approval 
But I'll take pride 
And I'm aware of changing tides 
And time we all know 
Will wait for no one 

I said I ain't gonna pay my money 
To hear the same old sound 
Not after all these years 
With my ear to the ground 
I would have thought you got the picture 
From the first time around 
I said I ain't gonna pay my money 
To hear the same old sound 

This is the sound 
Of the people living in the moment 
Listen up, listen up 
Just look around 
This is life right here as I know it 
Listen up, listen up 

Now 
The feeling's growing by the hour 
And you can try to talk us down 
But [bad word] fears no trial 
In life 
This happens all the time 
Just when you think you know where you are 
They move the road signs 

I said I ain't gonna be no fool 
For some government plans 
And stop thinking for myself 
And put my life in their hands 
While they're living off the blood 
Of the honest man 
And I ain't waiting till I'm dead 
To see no promised land 

And how ready are you to leave to past behind? 
How ready are you? 
It's in the back of your mind
