Awakening Minds: Poster Children's Anthem for Change
Lyrics
You say that you have got an open mind
You claim to have an open mind, but you tend to talk excessively.
But it's your mouth that's open all the time
Emphasizes the contrast between claiming an open mind and constantly talking without substantial action.
Tell me how you're going to save the world
Asks how one intends to make a positive change in the world.
Screaming fire in an empty theater
Metaphorically suggests creating panic or chaos in a situation that's already devoid of people or substance.
Another heaven with another name
Suggests repeated cycles of hopeful change with different names but no actual progress.
Revolution is always a day away
Highlights the perpetual postponement of revolution, always being "a day away."
Strong opinions are not strong enough
Indicates that having strong opinions alone isn't sufficient.
The sky is falling, time to wake up
Implies a sense of urgency, signaling that it's time to wake up to the impending issues.
Get a life, get a life
An imperative urging someone to lead a more fulfilling life.
Take a chance and change your mind
Encourages taking risks and reconsidering one's perspective.
You're out of touch, you're out of time
Suggests being disconnected from reality and running out of opportunities.
Take it all, get out of line
Advises seizing every opportunity and breaking away from societal norms.
Riots are red and violence is blue
Uses colors metaphorically to describe chaos (riots) and sadness (violence).
Question them before they question you
Encourages critical thinking and questioning authority.
It doesn't matter which side that you're on
States that it doesn't matter which side one is on if there's no clear distinction between right and wrong.
When there's no difference between right and wrong
Highlights the moral ambiguity when right and wrong are indistinguishable.
No one told me that the world was flat
Expresses surprise at discovering a truth contrary to common belief.
Don't go too far you might fall off the edge
Advises caution and restraint from going too far in any endeavor.
This is not the place I want to live
Expresses dissatisfaction with the current state of living.
Where good energy rules with an iron fist
Conveys a negative view of a controlling and oppressive environment.
