Mr. Manchester Goodbye Innocence/Are You Satisified?     Song Sample: MP3 Format Lyrics: Goodbye Innocence/Are You Satisfied? We thought we could make this place a bit better We thought we had all the time in the world But idealism fails when its time to act Its so obvious when you’re looking back Did you think you’re brave? Were you starry eyed? Time devours youth whenever they collide The dreams you had are gone when finally comes the dawn And its Goodbye Innocence - Singing Goodbye Innocence We thought we were a generation of dreamers We thought we were the instigators of change But the only thing that changed was the color of our hair Common sense crept in while we were unaware All the plans we had. All that we threw aside We’re so self indulgent we never even tried My naivety is funny now to me And its Goodbye Innocence - Singing Goodbye Innocence Now its Goodbye Innocence Don’t know if you knew it, but we blew it, once again There’s nothing to it, you can’t do it, once again. And now that we’re through it, something’s strange, nothing’s changed at all. Are you satisfied with how things are? You promised us the world but only got us a star Are you satisfied at how we live? You promised us the world but you’ve got nothing to give. Are you satisfied at how we fall? You promised everything but gave us nothing at all Are you satisfied with what we know? You promised us the world but now there’s no place to go Are you satisfied with what you see? You promised us a star but there’s nothing left for me Are you satisfied with what we do? You promised all to me but it was all about you! Are you satisfied?
