Rise Against - Black Masks and Gasoline [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Simply because you can breathe
Doesn't mean you're alive
Or that you really live
This life has taken its toll
She just doesn't know
How much more she can give

[Verse 2]
But here
At the top of the world
Where I raise my hands
And I clench my fists
And they stand
Before me, below
Demanding the answers
With flips of a switch

[Hook]
I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply ingrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress
Cause I couldn't care less

[Verse 3]
A need for revolution's rising
It comes to the surface
Gasping for air
And we're not
Putting up with this planet
One more day
Much less one more year

[Hook]
I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply ingrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress
Cause I couldn't care less

[Bridge]
So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood it pours it's all on our hands now
We live in fear of our own potential
To win, to lose; it's all on our hands now
And I have an American Dream
But it involves black masks and gasoline
One day I'll turn these thoughts into screams
At a world that turned its back down on me

[Hook]
I don't understand where you got this idea
So deeply ingrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress
Cause I couldn't care less
