A Good Life

Once it's moving you can't stop it
You could fill a glass with everything they know
Seeing's not the same as understanding
What if we stop doing what we're told

We'd be living a good life
With the pennies that we've saved
There on the front lines
When they tell us to behave
We'll break the rules

Well, I got so tired of thinking backwards
And mirrors just show you what you wanna see
Now faith is what the future is demanding
And free is what the people wanna be

We'd be living a good life
But it won't look like they said
My conscience lets me sleep at night
And when I wake up in my bed
I'll be with you
