lyrics

I don’t want to be forgotten
I don’t know why this is so important to me
Is this why people have children
A hand-me-down legacy
Do we share the same struggle
To grasp the immortal
Are we really such simple beasts

We don’t know where we come from
We don’t know where we belong
We don’t know when we’ll be gone
But it can’t be too long now

I don’t want to be remembered
For all the terrible ways
We disgraced ourselves
On the shoulders of murderers
A history like a police line-up
We raped and we pillaged
Each race, every village
Then carved our leaders on their hill

They didn’t know where we came from
They didn’t know where we belonged
They didn’t know when we’d be gone
It looks like we stuck around

I don’t know what I’m doing
I’m just floating along with society
Shouldn’t I be contributing
Instead of constantly consuming
We complete education
Then snag a vocation
Then, maybe a retirement party

Well, if that’s what you call a life
To many, it sure sounds nice
But for that voice lashing out inside
Forever hammering why

That’s my problem;
My head’s like a faucet
It runs hot and cold
And some nights I can’t stop it
From calming to caustic
I can’t make the cataract quit

This is my life’s work
Questioning my worth
So, what have I surmised?
Life’s work and then you die

We don’t know where we come from
We don’t know where we belong
We don’t know when we’ll be gone…

But you don’t gotta beat yourself up about it
