What happened to all my hopes and dreams?
Where did they all go?
What happened to my hopeful thoughts
That we could build a better world
These days are filled with fear
These days are filled with fear
These days are filled with fear
These days are filled with fear
Where did all my good dreams go?
This is a cold world
Our ignorance has helped to create
It's what we leave for our children
That our selfishness has dealt their fate
All this fear and war...
I can't take it anymore
There's gotta be a better existence than this, I know
Where did all my good dreams go?
These are our last days
We live in fear, in fear of the unknown
Never care to question the truths we're not told
Nor the facts we are never shown
All this fear and war...
I can't take it anymore
There's gotta be a better existence than this, I know
Where did all my good dreams go?
This is a sick world
People bickering and fighting over material greed
Lives lived so blindly, rather than meeting each others' needs
This world has become my nightmare
Nature torn down and replaced
No respect for its resources
We just take and take
And take and take
And take and take
And take and take
And take and take
And take and take
And take and take
And take and take
And take
All this hatred, fear and war...
I can't take it anymore
There's gotta be a better existence than this, I know
In my heart for sure
What happened to my hopes and dreams?
Where did they disappear?
What happened to all my hopeful thoughts
That we could build a better world?
Where did all my good dreams go?
Where did all my good dreams go?
Where did all my good dreams go?
Where did all my good dreams go?
Where did all my good dreams go?
Where did all my good dreams go?
Where did all my good dreams,
Where did all my good dreams go?

No Hope Ahead

Fear and anxiety
Tears in my eyes
As the dark clouds of poison
Fill the skies
A nuclear error
A chemical spill
Once so beautiful ocean
Now just another landfill
And this fear in my head
Is the first thought in the morning
There's no future ahead
For this world that slowly dies
And this fear in my head
It's the first thought in the morning
No hope ahead
Only lies
We've turned our earth
Into a death trap
We're covered in poison
It's all covered up with crap
Consent by consumerism
We consume their lies
In fear of reality
We close our eyes
And this fear in my head
Is the first thought in the morning
There's no future ahead
For this world that slowly dies
And this fear in my head
It's the first thought in the morning
No hope ahead
Only lies
And this fear in my head
Is the first thought in the morning
There's no future ahead
For this world that slowly dies
And this fear in my head
It's the first thought in the morning
No hope ahead
Only lies!

You have to, you must
You have got to
There's no choice but to
Give in to the system
You've got to conform
To gain social acceptance
And fit the norm
Social pressure
Blind obedience
Public opinion
Normative influences
Socialisation
Conformity
Persuasion
And marketing
Social pressure? - Coerces you
Blind obedience? - Who tells you to?
Public opinion? - Derides you
Normative influences? - To fit into
Socialisation? - All around you
Conformity? - Can control you
Persuasion? - To belong to
And marketing? - To sell you
What's the price of being yourself?
Social pressure? - Coerces you
Blind obedience? - Who tells you to?
Public opinion? - Derides you
Normative influences? - To fit into
Socialisation? - All around you
Conformity? - Can control you
Persuasion? - To belong to
And marketing? - To sell you
In this world that makes profit (Social pressure)
Out of self-doubt, insecurity (Blind obedience)
It's an act of rebellion (Public opinion)
Just being yourself (Normative influences)
In this world that makes profit
Out of self-doubt, insecurity
It's an act of rebellion
Just being yourself
Challenge the stereotypes. If you're not ashamed
of who you are, the outsiders' opinions begin
to grow mute!

Whoever mixed that guitar should be fired. If you can get past that, this is another great and addictive album from this band.
