Intro

Verse

1)

For the first two lines of the verse strum the chords w/out distortion

In the 2nd part strike each chord rapidly 5 times w/ distortion

Do you know the cost of future misery?

Have you lost your sense of sustainability?

We are just a step away from realizing what we strive to be

But we've got to break out from this insulated blind and lame senility

Verse

2) played like Verse(1)

Laurels, human triumph bestowments from the past

Victories don't mean a thing if they don't last

We are just marching towards extinction with blinders on our eyes

Jeopardizing everything we've learned and come to realize

You call that wise?

Verse

3) played like the 2nd part of Verse(1)

You can live in staunch denial and mark me as your enemy

But I'm just a voice amongst the throng who want a brighter destiny

They say with me

Chorus

1)

Strum all chords w/ distortion (every line's played like the first line)

Wake up the new America Wo oh Wo oh

Transcend in the mass hysteria Wo oh Wo oh

Change is the thing you're wary of Wo oh Wo oh

We need a new America Wo oh Wo oh

Chorus

2) played like Chorus(1)

Open your eyes America Wo oh Wo oh

See through the lies they tell to us Wo oh Wo oh

Confront the fears that worry us Wo oh Wo oh

We need a new America Wo oh Wo oh

Chorus

We are the new America Wo oh Wo oh

This is the new America Wo oh Wo oh

We are the new America Wo oh Wo oh

This is the new America Wo oh Wo oh - let's go

Bridge

Play once the whole intro during the bridge

( ...)

We don't have to be afraid to re-invent

We've got to start to build, progress and implement

For when we take our fill and never pay the price

We only build ourselves a fleeting, false paradise
