It's not necessary evil

It's not necessary rage

Searching in my heart of darkness

Won't justify this day and age

Let me one day

Remember it all

The sweet smell of smoke

As the fire burns

In our backyard

I can't show you, I can't teach you

The lessons of life seem so hard

So much friction, so much pain

God knows we need a change

It's not necessary evil

It's not necessary evil

You know you can't take the peoples spirit

You know you can't take away their dreams

We all want to be free, without responsibility

Gotta take some time to learn

A handful of men

They took all the gold

They threaten the land

They poisoned the air

They're selling their souls

I can't show you, I can't teach you

The lessons of life seem so hard

So much friction, so much pain

God knows we need a change

A never ending story

Will we ever be what we want to be

We must change the rules we live by,

And we must make something

So that others may simply live today

I hope and pray that you'll come with me

I'm asking you, begging you
