Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pencil and paper, worn out eraser
Information must get through
Chasing the tiger, jungle of fire
Burn out the bliss that we once knew
[Chorus]
All around the world, the wheels are turning
Can we carry the weight of what we're learning?
[Verse 2]
Fables and theories, the old and the weary
Paving the way to a time gone by
Noble intentions, a prophet's ascension
Hail to the king of the media
[Chorus]
All around the world, the wheels are turning
Can we carry the weight of what we're learning?
[Instrumental]
The revolution's here, a shot was never fired
No one shed a tear 'cause nobody noticed
Now the time has come to gather up your guns
And set them all aside and let your foolish pride be done
[Instrumental]
Born of illusion, world of confusion
A child will lead us to the light
All around the world, the wheels are turning
Can we carry the weight of what we're learning?
Do we dare take a look into the mirror?
As the truth of our fate keeps getting clearer
