Rise Against Black Masks & Gasoline song lyrics

Simply because you can breathe

Doesn't mean you're alive

Or that you really live

This life has taken its toll

And she just doesn't know how much more she can give

But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists

They stand before me below demanding the answers with flips of a switch

I don't understand where you got this idea

So deeply engrained in your head

(That this world) Is something that you must impress

Because I couldn't care less

A need for revolution's rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air,

We're not putting up with this planet one more day much less one more year

I don't understand where you got this idea

So deeply engrained in your head

(That this world) Is something that you must impress,

Because I couldn't care less

So here and now, in our rotting nation

The blood, it pours, it's all on our hands now

We live, in fear, of our own potential

To win, to lose, it's all on our hands now

I have an American Dream

But it involves black masks and gasoline

One day I'll turn these thoughts into screams

At a world turned its back down on me

I don't understand where you got this idea

So deeply engrained in your head

(That this world) Is something that you must impress

Because I couldn't care less
