The Offspring - Not the One lyrics

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, yeah, I'm innocent
But the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders yeah, yeah, I'm innocent
The battles started are far from over

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, yeah, we're innocent
But the weight of the world
Is on our shoulders
Yeah, yeah, we're innocent
The battles left us are far from over

Yeah, yeah, I'm innocent
But the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders yeah, yeah, I'm innocent
The battles started 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 too overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution
To the plight we see
Still, our descendents will inherit
Our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as
We and never wonder why!
