I know you live on my street
I sometimes wonder
Why we dont meet
Ive seen your face in the sky
Twenty-five stories high
You never come down to earth
Communication (communication)
Could hardly be much worse
Dont keep me here in the dark
I want to be your friend
Your fears are way off the mark

Every generation
Sees it their own way
Never learning their lessons
Making the same mistakes again

Its not the same for us - as history fades away
Its not the same for us - you must hear me when I say

Look out on this brave new land
Think of the future
The future that lays in our hands
Our leaders live in the past
We can change it
Theres something to hope for at last

Every generation
Sees it their own way
Why dont we learn our lessons
Dont make the same mistakes again

(chorus)

What dreams are you chasing now?
What are you living for?
The problems that were facing now
Nobody faced before
Please dont reject me
In anger or in sorrow
Youve got to accept me
If were to make a better tomorrow

Its not the same - its not the same for us
