I know you live on my street
I sometimes wonder why we don't meet
I've seen your face in the sky
Twenty-five stories high You never come down to earth
Communication could hardly be much worse
Don't keep me here in the dark
I want to be your friend, your fears are way off the mark Every generation
Sees it their own way
Never learning their lessons
Making the same mistakes again It's not the same for us
As history fades away
It's not the same for us It's not the same for us
You must hear me when I say
It's not the same for us Look out on this brave new land
Think of the future, the future that lays in our hands
Our leaders live in the past
We can change it, there's something to hope for at last Every generation
Sees it their own way
Why don't we learn our lessons?
Don't make the same mistakes again It's not the same for us
As history fades away
It's not the same for us It's not the same for us
Do you hear me when I say?
It's not the same for us What dreams are you chasing now?
What are you living for?
The problems that we're facing now
Nobody faced before Please don't reject me
In anger or in sorrow
You've got to accept me
If we're to make a better tomorrow It's not the same
It's not the same for us
