I'm feeling so confused today
It seems they've changed the rules again
Cos in my life I'm trying hard
To do it all so I can remain
Healthy and sane

I'll live forever
Always one more tomorrow
Living forever
Always one more tomorrow

I heard it on the radio
Too much of what they said wasn't so
And now we've got to do those things
That they brought before were so wrong
To be healthy and strong

And live forever
Always one more tomorrow
Living forever
Always one more tomorrow

I know we don't need you
I know we don't believe you
You don't really have the answer
You think you know better
You think it really matters
You just want to rule over everybody's lives

I think I'll change my life today
Gone are the times of taking care
And I don't need a reason why
All I need is all in a day survive in a way

Or just till tomorrow
Always one more tomorrow
Living forever
Do you really want to live forever

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
