[Verse 1]
What if I could sail away
From this island of imagined yesterdays
What if I could fly away

Beautiful when I was alive
[Outro]

What are you going to do
What are you going to do about it

What are you going to do about it (My imagination)

What are you going to do about it (My imagination)
What are you going to do (I'm a citizen)
What are you going to do about it (Of the human nation)
What are you going to do (I'm not selling out)
What are you going to do about it (My imagination)
What are you going to do (I'm a citizen)
What are you going to do about it (Of the human nation)
What are you going to do (I'm not selling out)
What are you going to do about it (My imagination)
What are you going to do (I'm a citizen)
What are you going to do about it (Of the human nation)
What are you going to do (I'm not selling out)
What are you going to do about it (My imagination)
What are you going to do (I'm a citizen)
What are you going to do about it (Of the human nation)
