We’re gonna learn to love and throw it all away
We’re gonna drink ourselves to an early grave
Gonna let it slip right through our hands
Gonna bury our heads in the sand
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Are we listening to ourselves?
Is there an afterlife or is there only this?
Do we spend it all now do we save our chips?
This situation is getting kinda mean
Gonna have to deal with the big war machine
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Are we listening to ourselves?
He said father won’t you tell me who I’m supposed to be
’Cause there’s so many questions with the world at your feet
It’s every generation’s responsibilities to be listening to ourselves
She said mother won’t you tell me how I’m supposed to feel
‘Cause Hollywood has told me it’s only mostly real
To stand up and be counted it takes nerves of steel
To start listening to ourselves
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Time will only tell
Are we listening to ourselves?
Ooh, are we listening to ourselves?
Yeah, are we listening to ourselves?
Ooh, are we listening to ourselves?
Ooh, are we listening to ourselves?
Are we listening to ourselves?
Are we listening to ourselves?
