Bad Religion - New America [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Do you know the cost of future misery?
Have you lost your sense of sustainability?
We are just a step away
From realizing what we strive to be
But we've got to break out
From this insulated blind and lame senility

[Chorus]
Wake up the new America
Wo-oh!
Transcend the mass hysteria
Wo-oh!
Change is the thing you're wary of
Wo-oh!
We need a new America
Wo-oh!

[Verse 2]
Laurels, human triumph
Bestowments from the past
Victories don't mean a thing
If they don't last
We are just marching toward extinction
With blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything
We've learned and come to realize
You call that wise?

[Chorus]
Open your eyes America
Wo-oh!
See through the lies they tell to us
Wo-oh!
Confront the fears that worry us
Wo-oh!
We need a new America
Wo-oh!

[Verse 3]
We don't have to be afraid to re-invent
We've got to start to build
Progress, and implement
For when we take our fill
And never pay the price
We only build ourselves a fleeting
False paradise
You can live in staunch denial
And mark me as your enemy
But I'm just a voice among the throng
Who want a brighter destiny
They say with me

[Chorus]
We are the new america
Wo-oh!
This is the new america?
Wo-oh
