You used to be as a child
full of hope and wonder
hey, now, do you remember those days
your mind was free and running wild
now the sound of thunder
has got you trapped in a corner hiding out
youand're running in a rat maze
You better think about the legacy
that you want to leave behind
itand's all getting burnt-out, used-up
bought and sold to the bottom line
that ainand't the way itand's gotta be
you can leave a better world than you find
you can look down, turn aside, run away
but you canand't put it out of your mind
and'cause itand's your legacy
Donand't it make your heart bleed
passing through the meadowland
wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like
thatand's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed
rev it up to five grand
shades on, top down
but as you barrel down the turnpike
You better think about the legacy
that youand're gonna leave behind
things are getting wasted out of hand
people stealing each other blind
hey, that ainand't the way it oughta be
you can leave a better world than you find
you can look down, turn around, run away
but you canand't put it out of your mind
and'cause itand's your legacy
It isnand't easy when you think your voice
doesnand't matter to anyone
maybe you believe thereand's nothing you can do
but if you just do nothing, youand've made a choice
to perpetuate the destruction
why donand't you stand up, dig in
when it all comes down, itand's gotta begin with you
itand's you
itand's your legacy
baby, whatcha gonna do about it
You better think about the legacy
that you want to leave behind
things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up
sold to the bottom line
hey, that ainand't the way itand's gotta be
oh, donand't you want to leave a better world than you find
you can look down, turn aside, run away and hide
but you canand't put it out of your mind
and'cause itand's your legacy
oh, your legacy
Look here
itand's gotta start somewhere, jack
if you donand't go forward, youand're gonna go back
hey, you better get a plan of attack
and'cause thatand's the only way that youand're gonna keep track
of your legacy
