What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You used to be as a child
2
Full of hope and wonder
3
Hey, now, do you remember those days
4
Your mind was free and running wild
5
Now the sound of thunder
6
Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out
7
You're running in a rat maze
8
You better think about the legacy
9
That you want to leave behind
10
It's all getting burnt-out, used-up
11
Bought and sold to the bottom line
12
That ain't the way it's gotta be
13
You can leave a better world than you find
14
You can look down, turn aside, run away
15
But you can't put it out of your mind
16
'Cause it's your legacy
17
Don't it make your heart bleed
18
Passing through the meadowland
19
Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like
20
That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed
21
Rev it up to five grand
22
Shades on, top down
23
But as you barrel down the turnpike
24
You better think about the legacy
25
That you're gonna leave behind
26
Things are getting wasted out of hand
27
People stealing each other blind
28
Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be
29
You can leave a better world than you find
30
You can look down, turn around, run away
31
But you can't put it out of your mind
32
'Cause it's your legacy
33
It isn't easy when you think your voice
34
Doesn't matter to anyone
35
Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do
36
But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice
37
To perpetuate the destruction
38
Why don't you stand up, dig in
39
When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you
40
It's you
41
It's your legacy
42
Baby, whatcha gonna do about it
43
You better think about the legacy
44
That you want to leave behind
45
Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up
46
Sold to the bottom line
47
Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be
48
Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find
49
You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide
50
But you can't put it out of your mind
51
'Cause it's your legacy
52
Oh, your legacy
53
Look here
54
It's gotta start somewhere, Jack
55
If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back
56
Hey, you better get a plan of attack
57
'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track
58
Of your legacy
