Not The One — текст песни (Offspring)

Im not the one who made the world what it is today

Im not the one who caused the problems started long ago

But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times

I carry on and never once have even questioned why



Im innocent

But the wieght of the world is on my shoulders

Im innocent

But the battles started are far from over



Were not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night

Were not the ones whove kept minorities and women down

Still we grow and then the problems they become our own

We carr on without even realizing why



Chorus

Were innocent

But the weight of the world is on our shoulders

Were innocent

But the battles left us are far from over



Were not the ones whose pollution balcked our skies

And ruined the streams

Were not the ones who made the nuclear bombs

That threaten our lives

Were not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands

Were not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night



And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed

And if we make some contribution to the plight we see

Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today

Theyll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why
