If you're anything like me then you know how it feels
To turn on your stereo and find something real
If you ever need to hear something to confirm
That somebody relates to you... hold firm

When you come home after class
Wait all day for it to pass
Go back to your room and turn your music on
And it sounds good and fun
But it's already been done
Can we hear something to believe in?

The music, the message
Climbing from the wreckage
Of the songs of yesteryear
The music, the message
I guess I'd suggest it
Can we find something sincere?

If you're feeling down and you need somewhere to belong
Just look around and try to find that special song
In time you may realize there are those who understand
And maybe things will turn out a bit better than you planned

When you feel like no one cares
When your life is a nightmare
Don't worry about the ones who tell you what to be
They can't pull you down
No, they don't rule this town
Take a stand for a new society

The music, the message
Climbing from the wreckage
Of the songs of yesteryear
The music, the message
I guess I'd suggest it
Can we find something sincere?

The music, the message
Climbing from the wreckage
Of the songs of yesteryear
The music, plays on
And we still sing the same songs
Can we find something sincere?
