We're The Ones Lyrics - Singles - Plunkett

I, think of '39 and folk just like me 

Torn, from their minds their wives their homes and families 

Apathy's cruel but it's warm in my bed 

And I can do anything if I've the money to spend 

I, think of '69 and folk just like me 

Dazed, by the lunar race, small step for a new mankind 

Hold on, when was the last time we could say we were surprised? 

Come on, when was the last time that we flinched deep inside? 

Or tried? 

I, think about my life and folk just like me 

Tied, to this brave new world of hope consuming reasons for why 

Hold on, when was the last time we could say we watched the sky? 

Come on, when was the last time that we cared about life? 

So we shy 

From ourselves 

And deny 

Apathy rules if we give what we get 

And we can buy anything except the truth and what's dead 

We think of ourselves and we're just everyone else 

We could all be our kings you know 

If we see who we are 

We're the ones in the sun
