One Second Chance - Raine Maida

I saw Abbie Hoffman’s ghost in the distance

We got Saul Williams keeping up the resistance

And punk rock and blues music keep dying

We keep buying

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have taken over the mission

Cause our politicians they don’t have a position

Who’s to blame for this shallow existence?

Our existence

We try and fight, but this wall’s too high

Have we lost tonight?

But one second chance could change everything

And I think I’ll go write my senator a letter

But they just talk shit they ain’t gonna make nothing better

Me and Bev we ain’t two birds of a feather

Of a feather

And I’m counting on Chomsky, McClellan

Aldous Huxley and the intelligencia

Well Cat Stevens he got out and he ain’t missin' ya

And this overpriced and candy coated life, does it fit ya?

Does it fit ya?

We try and fight, but this wall’s too high

Have we lost tonight?

But one second chance could change everything

These are bloody faces we hold in the fire

Open up the gates, but I don’t ask why

These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire

And these are bloody faces we hold in the fire

Open up the gates, I don’t ask why

These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, but it’s time, it’s time to sing

We try and fight, but this wall’s too high

Have we lost tonight?

But one second chance could change everything, could change everything

And these are bloody faces we hold in the fire

Open up the gates, and I don’t ask why (could change everything)

These are bloody faces we hold in the fire, but it’s time, it’s time to sing

Have we lost this fight?
