0:02With our eyes wide open we
0:09With our eyes wide open we
0:16So this is the end of the story
0:23Everything we had' everything we did
0:27Is buried in dust
0:29And this dust is all that's left of us
0:37But only a few ever worried
0:41Though the signs were clear' they had no idea
0:45You just get used to living in fear
0:48Or give up
0:50When you can't even picture your future
0:55We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
1:13And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we
1:17Walk the plank with our eyes wide open
1:20And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we
1:23Walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
1:28Some people offered up answers
1:35We made out like we heard' but they were only words
1:39They didn't add up
1:42To a change in the way we were living
1:46And the saddest thing
1:49Is all of it could have been avoided
1:53But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human
1:57And why would I make a change if you won't
2:00We're all in the same boat' staying afloat
2:04For the moment
2:08And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we
2:13Walk the plank with our eyes wide open
2:15And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we
2:19Walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
2:22And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we
2:25Walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
2:28And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we
2:32With our eyes wide open
2:38WeWalk the plank' we walk the plank
2:44With our eyes wide open
2:46WeWalk the plank' we walk the plank
2:49With our eyes wide open
2:51WeWalk the plank' we walk the plank
2:56And that was the end of the story
With our eyes wide open we With our eyes wide open we So this is the end of the story Everything we had' everything we did Is buried in dust And this dust is all that's left of us But only a few ever worried Though the signs were clear' they had no idea You just get used to living in fear Or give up When you can't even picture your future We walk the plank with our eyes wide open And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we Walk the plank with our eyes wide open And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we Walk the plank with our eyes wide open we Some people offered up answers We made out like we heard' but they were only words They didn't add up To a change in the way we were living And the saddest thing Is all of it could have been avoided But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human And why would I make a change if you won't We're all in the same boat' staying afloat For the moment And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we Walk the plank with our eyes wide open And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we Walk the plank with our eyes wide open we And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we Walk the plank with our eyes wide open we And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open' we With our eyes wide open WeWalk the plank' we walk the plank With our eyes wide open WeWalk the plank' we walk the plank With our eyes wide open WeWalk the plank' we walk the plank And that was the end of the story
