[Intro] Understand procedure, understand war Understand rules, regulations I don't understand sorry [Verse 1] You must feel frustration 'Cause your mind feels such temptation And your ways appear a total lack of faith You may feel elation At your body's recreation And the joy you need, restricted by one thought [Chorus] Are you forever Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever Pale, regarded as a waste of time [Verse 2] High times are courageous But in truth they suit no purpose Induced, reduced, unable and afraid Can you feel rejection And a lack of motivation And the joy you need, restricted and delayed [Chorus] Are you forever Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever Pale, regarded as a waste of time [Outro] I don't really know what sorry means I've been sorry all my life I'm sorry I was born, that's what my mother told me I don't really know what sorry means I've been sorry all my life I don't really know what sorry means
