How did we lose it Lyrics

I recall the snapshots on TV

Of people marching in the streets

Their peaceful fight for equality

Until the walls come tumbling down

Now again the people stomp their feet

But they're marching to a different beat

Protecting their supremacy

And get the walls built up again

Uh how did we lose it

Uh we can't excuse it

Uh how did we lose it

We're fucked up way beyond compare

When we burn the love we used to share

All these pictures prove we're truly wrong

Our suppressed desires grow too strong

Negotiations took too long

To keep the cracks from breaking in

Uh how did we lose it

Uh we can't excuse it

Uh how did we lose it

The lack of our sobriety

Is the doom of our society

Uh how did we lose it

Uh we can't excuse it

Uh how did we lose it

We're fucked up way beyond compare

When we burn the love we used to share

Don't you know all the riots and claims

Are gonna burn up in flames

We want more, we want more, more

But before we keep repeating the game

Tell me when will we share the love again?

Uh how did we lose it

Uh we can't excuse it

Uh how did we lose it

The lack of our sobriety

Is the doom of our society

Uh how did we lose it

Uh we can't excuse it

Uh how did we lose it
