Stuck in a crisis Without a conscience Trapped in a place we don't belong There's no more heroes Left to believe in They've pushed our backs against the wall I know that something has to change We got lost along the way Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain 'Cause we're falling down again Crooks and deceivers Misled believers A world where decency is gone Chaotic flashes Of huddled masses Stare down the barrel of the gun I know that something has to change We got lost along the way Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain 'Cause we're falling down again Live in a reckless paradise The house is burning, trapped inside A reckless paradise The wheels are turning truth to lies In reckless paradise Could cut the tension with a knife In reckless paradise It's up to us to read between the lines Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain 'Cause we're falling down again Reckless paradise The house is burning, trapped inside A reckless paradise The wheels are turning truth to lies In reckless paradise Could cut the tension with a knife In reckless paradise It's up to us to read between the lines Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain 'Cause we're falling down again
