Another tragedy in the news, a maniac tries to shoot.
It doesn't seem at all they choose the right way.
Another law I heard got passed today.
It feels like they're trying to rip my rights away.
Listen to me: You're going wrong today.

Rescue me from here, take my hand or alone I will stand.
Too weak to hang on, too weak to hold on, too weak to stand up on my own.
Afraid that no one's changing.
I'm falling so you can catch me. Save me!

Stare through a new point of view.
Fall away from the lines of what they say you can do.
Break away from the prejudice that bind these fools.

Only one shot to prove that they are wrong,
Only one shot to prove that I can make it out on my own.

A whirlpool of lies the people are making.
Hatred and satisfaction are often mistaken.
People trying to ban what I am saying.
So I break off of them with only one shot.

All I hate is a part of predominant salvation.
I want to motivate the change, ride the opinion of the nation.
Anger is the ecstasy, eats away all our dignity.

Come with me, come you all with me and we'll tear it up,
We've only got one shot at this, one shot to give peace to the enemy, one shot at being free.

Hype is not this world's point of view.
And just when you think its not happening, it hits you in the head and comes all over again.

But with a chance of salvation comes terrorism.
I can't ride the subway without looking over my shoulder.
I can't get on the bus without hearing a racial comment.
I can't remember a time when I was able to talk to a friend without having them curse at me for no apparent reason.

So I ask you: What has this world come to?
They'll give anyone a driver's license; the cause of most of the accidents.
I want to create a world for myself,
A place where I can live in peace without fear of being mugged or shot.
I'd rather not live there alone, though.
I'm sure there's more people out there like me.
Somehow, you'll be able to reach me.
We'll be able to drown out the screams of the miserable.
We'll find a way to help those who are suffering.
Someday, we won't have to pretend that the world's okay.
Someday, this will all come true.

But in the meanwhile, we're still dying here.
Our lives are being drained of color
With the pollution and expectations.

And just so you know,
Terrorism is just around the corner, but
So is SALVATION...
