lyrics

Verse 1
Got an email from a friend
with the story of a man
whose son was kicked right out of school
It seems he couldn’t understand
why the finger on his hand
was classified as a “deadly tool”
It didn’t seem so long ago
that the story being told
involved spitballs or skipping class
(But) we’ve seen the error of our ways
and we’re singing our own praise
Those old ideas are changing fast

Chorus 1
People come along and let’s embrace this new idea
No complaints, no regrets, come on by – we hope to see ya!
Gone are silly notions of original thought
No more wasted time with old battles fought
Nothing’s really changed - only rearranged in our new idea

Verse 2
Politicians in the day
used to tell us not to stray
from the teachings of the church
while they secretly pounce
on all the vices they denounce
A solemn oath that they besmirch
but now it’s earth they preach about
and famous faces lend them clout
“Keep those footprints nice and small”
But when the sun is finally set
they fly out in their private jet
to their homes so nice and tall

Chorus 2
People come along and let’s embrace this new idea
No complaints, no regrets, come on by – we hope to see ya!
Gone are silly notions of original thought
No more wasted time with old battles fought
Nothing’s really changed - only rearranged –That’s our new idea

Bridge
Chorus 3
People come along and let’s embrace this new idea
No complaints, no regrets, come on by – we hope to see ya!
Gone are silly notions of original thought
No more wasted time with old battles fought
Take a look ahead and tell me what you see
Whichever side you choose
The future is never free
Come and join the crowd – never speak out loud against our new idea
