lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at this place around us
Look at all the people
Watching and waiting
And looking for something that’s theirs for the taking

Something to make sense out of this crazy world that we’re living in
Out of this ultimatum that we’re dealing with
Just look at the morning paper or the evening news
We're all used and abused

And we're forced to choose
Should we give ‘em hell or give ‘em shoes?
Or drop a few more bombs away
Or outlaw guns and don't let kids pray
Camo or the Rainbow
What about the shade of grey?

[Chorus]
We ain't gotta choose sides today
We ain't gotta choose sides tomorrow
Let the kids go out and play
We're gonna be ourselves today

[Verse 2]
Walking down the street
Never felt so much like a ghost town
Everybody's walking around
Smiles upside down, staring at the ground

But every now and then
You know/when we look up at the sky
We all wonder why
Is there anyone up there?
Why can't he hear us cry?

[Chorus]
We ain't gonna find God today
We ain't gonna find God tomorrow
Let the kids go out and play
We're gonna be ourselves today

[Bridge]
If you wanna fight all the good in life you can
And if you wanna believe that your hate will get us anywhere
Then you can stand beside yourself all alone at the end of the road
And for the rest of us, we'll do fine on our own
Yeah, we'll do fine on our own

[Chorus]
We're gonna be ourselves today
We're gonna be ourselves tomorrow
Let the kids go out and play

[Outro]
We're gonna be ourselves today (we’re gonna be ourselves, we’re gonna be ourselves)
We ain't gotta choose sides today
We ain't gonna find God tomorrow (no, no, no)
But everything’s gonna be okay
We’re gonna be ourselves today
