THE SONIC REVOLUTION: Power Failure - Lyrics     SEVEN MINUTES Seven minutes While you revealed your soul Seven minutes Told us all we need to know   Sitting, waiting For orders from above For seven minutes While our world came undone   Chorus: You couldn't even stand up You didn't want to know more You couldn't even stand up You couldn't walk out the door You couldn't even stand up You didn't want to know more You couldn't even wake up Already dreaming of war   Now we know who you are Plain to see now It was never very far   Took seven minutes For you to be exposed So why can't some see The emperor has no clothes   Chorus: You couldn't even stand up You didn't want to know more You couldn't even stand up You couldn't walk out the door You couldn't even wake up Already dreaming of war You couldn't even wake up   You couldn't even stand up You didn't want to know more You couldn't even wake up Already dreaming of war You couldn't even stand up And leave the children alone No way you could interrupt Until the goat got home   The king is sleeping While the nation is burning For seven minutes     DYSTOPIA It may be twenty years late But it's 1-9-8-4 today And Orwell is rolling in his grave   Big Brother's looking down The Thought Police all around Watch what you do and what you say   In America We're sliding toward dystopia America Sliding toward dystopia   When our problems become too great We kick back and medicate Just one more way to avoid the end   'Was' and 'will' make me ill Just give me another pill Drop a gram and now I only 'am'   In America We're sliding toward dystopia America Wake up and smell the dystopia   Fiction is now reality It's written, our future history Prediction, or a way to avoid Prescription into or out of the void   We're dancing at the end of time And no one wants to know why It's the nature of the catastrophe   The final program is loaded Morality corroded It's mutable reality America, we're sliding toward dystopia     AMNESIA Black and white newsreel footage of our glory It's got to mean something more Words on a page can begin to fade When we forget all that has come before   Chorus: It all seems so retro Like we've been down this road before But then why don't we know Just how this story goes   Traveling in my time machine Just to refresh my memory Of why I'm feeling so damn low Memory lane is still blood stained But it seemed to mean so much more   Chorus: Ninety-nine tears And I cried them all for you I'd change the world But I don't know what to do   But I know I can't leave it up to you . . .   It's like collective amnesia And we're doomed to repeat our sins We can't know the ending Till we remember how it begins   Full color, primetime Footage of a war crime Forget it, just move along Forget what's wrong And write another song   Chorus     THANK GOD Mindless Thoughtless for so long, you know it's Timeless And it won't end, it's become so Reckless Finally we're headed to an Impasse And all that you can say is: "Thank God"   Chorus: Kneel and pray for everything you need And then watch our people bleed Pray for better days that never come And then blame a mystery   Fearless So easy to be when you're left Brainless Aren't you a happy zombie Senseless Let your faith leave all of us Defenseless At least we can always say "Thank God"   Chorus: Kneel and pray for everything you need While you watch our people bleed Pray for better days that never come And then blame a mystery   When the world is black and white You can be sure of what you see When you believe in everything you're told You know just what to believe   EARTHSHINE The other day, I thought I'd found a way To send my message From far away, it seemed you held the key To end my passage But by the time my light could reach you It seemed the day had ended And I'd disappeared again into the . . .   Night, and you are the only light I'm bathed in earthshine   Another day, to try to find a way Out of my darkness I shoot a star and close my eyes And wait here for your wish But by the time your wish could reach me Another day had ended And I'd vanished once again into . . .   Night, and you are the only light I'm bathed in earthshine Night, it's only earthshine   Cause in a way I'm like The dark side of the moon Reflecting rays of light That only come from you   I only mirror you     OVERTHROW Here we stand, feeling like we're broken and beaten Been brutalized and terrorized by our very own leaders They make us fear, to make us feel like we can't survive without them When all we need is to believe that we can rise above it again   Chorus: I hear the noises The raising voices Sounds like a revolution From below There's an uprising On the horizon The only way to retake control We've got to overthrow   Desperate days bring desperate ways When liberty is defeated Marginalized all of our lives Until we retake our freedom   They make us fear, to make us feel like we can't speak against them When all we need is to believe That we can hold that power again   Chorus At this point in the course of human events It's become necessary to dissolve these bonds We dissent   Chorus I hear the voices Beautiful noises Sounds like a revolution From below Retake control This much I know: We've got to overthrow   THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS These days lies mean much more than truth it seems I'm hoping this is just a dream Wool over eyes, they won't let us see what it means I have no mouth, and I must scream   Try, try, try to fight the good fight every day Another right, they take away By the time they come for me there won't be anyone Left to stand or any words to say   Chorus: It feels like we're stranded in the rain We've slipped through the looking glass now Like wandering through an endless maze Where right is left and up is down   Reality was hijacked in the dead of night By the dawn's early light History rewritten to fit the lie Keep the truth out of sight   Why, why, why must we try and fail again Led again to bitter ends When we know, in our hearts, this isn't right Still we go quiet into night   Chorus: It feels like we've stranded in the rain We've slipped through the looking glass now Like trying to talk to the insane And I don't see any way out     HOME Finally, finally, I've found a place to call home Finally, finally, I've found my way back home   Wandering through a wasteland The ruins of my mind Following a shattered landscape And running out of time   I'm flying through my nightmares And crying in my dreams Just trying to remember The way it's supposed to be   I've got to know That there's something here for me Somewhere to go, where I can see   That finally, finally I've found a place to call home   Searching for a lifetime Through my ruined soul Wondering if there's a reason For anything I know   I'm finding only mirrors With nothing to reveal And I'm finding the longer this lasts The less that I can feel   I've got to know That there's something real for me That love is more than a memory   That finally, finally, I'll find a place to call home Finally, finally, I've found a way back home I gain an inch, then they take a mile And I lose my way home I take a step, then I lose a mile And I'm so far from home   Finally, you and me, we've found a place to call home Finally, you and me, we've found a way back home They took an inch, but we drove the mile Till we found our way home They stole a step, but we took the mile And we found our way home
