Sad Legacy - Eric Johnson

There’s no such thing as freedom

Without some responsibility

All this shock and surprise

But we’ve been throwing out a mean boomerang

And now it’s coming back at us.

Wouldn’t you like to see a change?

Are you willing to pay?

Stopping the screams and guns and pain

I’d like to throw them away.

We put the innocent to test

By all the thoughts we invest

Children learn from what excites us

That’s such a sad legacy.

Do you really think no connection?

With the polarity we emit?

And worship walks in the wrong direction

We keep feeding it

And I am thinking something

But I’m really doing nothing.

Wouldn’t you like to see a change?

Are we willing to pay?

Stopping the screams and guns and pain

I’d like to throw them away

We put the innocent to test

By all the thoughts we invest

The children learn from what excites us

That’s such a sad legacy.

Wouldn’t you like to see a change?

Are we willing to pay?

Stopping the screams and guns and pain

I’d like to throw them away

We put the innocent to test

By all the thoughts we invest

Wouldn’t you like to see a change?

Bustin' the sad legacy…
