As I
  Was taught to lead
  I was fed well
  On what had come before
  Everyone
  Who had ever lived
  Left a lesson
  Regarding what's in store
    They
  Were just like you and me
  Guessing their asses off
  Oh yes, they tried to guess well
    It's our turn now
  I hope we're forgiven
  Chalk it up to knowledge and change
  And life itself
    And as I
  Shall learn to follow
  I'll feed the leaders
  With everything I can
  They'll
  Bring revolutions
  That try as I may
  I just won't understand
    They
  Will be just like you and me
  Pretending they're not guessing
  As if we couldn't tell
    It'll be their turn then
  I hope we can forgive them
  Chalk it up to knowledge and change
  And life itself
    It seems a cycle that we all seem to share
  The passing from hand to hand of our pride and despair
  Both parent and child cry apathy but everybody cares
  And then we vanish in thin air
  And only time is there
  Time and a legacy...
    History holds questions for everyone
  A story that's only just begun
  Blind passed the goddamn horizon
  Sees more than father less than son
  Life and death merely pretending
  We're part of the infinite ending
    We
  Are gonna teach and learn
  We're gonna get fed well
  And then we shall feed
  We
  We are ancient
  We are brand spanking new
    We shall follow and lead
    Cause we
    Are simply you and me
  In proving our traditions
  On the brink of heaven and hell
    We each get a turn
  And then we're forgiven
  And we call it knowledge and change
  And life itself
  And we call it knowledge and change
  And life itself
  And we call it knowledge and change
    And life...
