Not The One

Not  The  One  -  The  Offspring

I'm  not  the  one  who  made  the  world  what  it  is  today

I'm  not  the  one  who  caused  the  problems  started  long  ago

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

I  carry  on  and  never  once  have  even  questioned  why

Yeah  I'm  innocent

But  the  weight  of  the  world  is  on  my  shoulders

Yeah  I'm  innocent

But  the  battles  started  are  far  from  over

Ohhhhhh

We  're  not  the  ones  who  leave  the  homeless  in  the  streets  at  night

We're  not  the  ones  who've  kept  minorities  and  women  down

Still  we  grow  and  then  the  problems  they  become  our  own

We  carry  on  without  even  realizing  why

Yeah  we're  innocent

But  the  weight  of  the  world  is  on  our  shoulders

Yeah  we're  innocent

But  the  battles  that  left  us  are  far  from  over

Yeah  we're  innocent

But  the  weight  of  the  world  is  on  our  shoulders

Yeah  we're  innocent

But  the  battles  that  left  us  are  far  from  over

Yeah  we're  innocent

But  the  weight  of  the  world  is  on  our  shoulders

Yeah  we're  innocent

But  the  battles  that  left  us  are  far  from  over

We're  not  the  ones  whose  pollution  blackened  our  skies

And  ruined  our  streams

We're  not  the  ones  who  made  the  nuclear  bombs

That  threaten  our  lives

We're  not  the  ones  who  let  the  children  starve  in  faraway  lands

We're  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  descendants  will  inherit  our  mistakes  of  today

They'll  suffer  just  the  same  as  we  and  never  wonder  why
