Lyrics

once upon a time...
I dreamed a dream that blew my mind
I saw the world blown up
and somehow I survived

I was only one
of less than ten that had never met
but we were friends
'cause there was no one else alive

Chorus...
Take a look at how we're living today
We pieced it off and we sold it away
Saving up for some fantasy day
Teaching our children how to be little slaves

We roamed the hills
we roamed the plains
We roamed the craters that remained
not knowing what we hoped to find

We cut the fence
we broke the law
that did not matter anymore
those things had all been left behind

We felt ashamed, we felt betrayed
we felt the anger that has plagued,
and thus forsaken humankind

(chorus)

Then we came across a little purlpe town
with a candy store that we had found
after a long day on the run

It was late at night
there were many stars
There were streets and lights
and empty bars
where people used to come for fun

Well, the candy store and the empty bar
echoed of a day when we were far
from what this place had now become

...take a look at how we're livin' today!
