Mads Langer - Dream Assassin lyrics

I don't claim to be a wise man
I don't claim to be a saint
But the world is caught on fire
And we gotta do something
We're gonna start a peaceful riot
Put the word out on the street
Nothing's gonna keep us quiet
And we'll be fighting while you sleep

You're a dream assassin
Shooting down our hope
And I bleed compassion
A piece you'll never know
You're a dream assassin
Your ship is going down
But, I breathe compassion
And we're the future
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now, yeah

Like the children that we're raising
One is fear and one is love
When you feed the one that's hating
It's gonna break the other one
You gotta sin a world of fiction
Mixing lies up with the truth
But we're holding our conviction
We are wise beyond our youth

You're a dream assassin
Shooting down our hope
And I bleed compassion
A piece you'll never know
You're a dream assassin
Your ship is going down
But, I breathe compassion
And we're the future
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now, the future now, yeah

Teacher, teacher, tell me something
Something I don't know
I wonder where I'll go
And when there's no place left to go
All a while I have been watching
Yeah, I've seen you in the news
Show me how to stand for something
And I feel a freedom fighter's shoes, ooh

You're a dream assassin
Shooting down our hope
And I bleed compassion
A piece you'll never know
You're a dream assassin
Your ship is going down
But, I breathe compassion
And we're the future
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now
We're the future now, we're the future now
Yeah we're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now
