Information

Hold your back from a long way down You can tell me you're feeling 'round For the things you lost, for the things you found When you were younger than you're feeling now When you were younger than you're feeling now We can all get lost in time We can read the papers fine But you'll lose your heart and you'll waste your mind If the information doesn't make you kind We want the information to make us kind But if you put up a wall to protect your side And you stuff your faces with mean old lies This is how you will kill and die America Give us all an open road Give all a hand to hold It's time to understand how to make things whole America What holds you back from a long way down? What gets you grown up from the ground? Doing something more than just sitting around You won't get younger than you're feelin' now (can we be free?) You won't get younger than you're feelin' now (can we be free?) So don't get lost, too lost in time When you read the papers, find How not to lose your heart or to waste your mind 'Cause we want the information to make us kind We want the information to make us kind But if you put up a wall to protect your side And you stuff your faces with mean old lies This is how you will kill and die America Won't you give us a hand, a hand to hold So you can understand how this world rolls Give us all an open road America
