Lizard-skin Barbie Lyrics - Singles - Burnt By The Sun

Okay, we can stop now, time to this stop and go 

We can stop pretending to be sane on this cold worn sidewalk 

We look like fools today, much like yesterday 

Much like the times they proved us wrong 

We said it couldn't happen, they made it happen 

History speaks louder than any other word 

Not bound and gagged by passivity or hesitance 

Dust bowls blow with our conjecture 

And I look around and see rust building up 

We can't move even if we try, move 

We can't move even if we try, move, agitate 

The praise over the recent demonstrations in Seattle 

Are testament to the lack of of realism within the hearts 

And minds of many activists fighting for social justice around the world 

Though the demonstrations were successful in that they did 

Postpone the WTO conference and brought important issues 

To the front pages of virtually every major newspaper for a full week 

They offered only marginal success, as the WTO still convened 

And exists as it did long before the demonstrations sparked 

Discussion and then quickly faded with all the expectancy 

If any other news story, though progress is indeed a process 

We must remember that our steps towards justice are indeed only steps 

And are only noteworthy in that they will lead us to the next step 

In praising simple and limited achievements as great strides 

We ultimately put ourselves at risk of being discouraged 

To continue after learning that our greatest efforts 

Usually yield only marginal results
