lyrics

spending too much time
trying to come up with words
that I don't really mean
and if it isn't right
I'll try to make it better
because that should be human nature
I know that I'm wrong
I want the world to sing a song
that doesn't make our problems worse
the world won't hold hands
instead here's a list of demands
so slap a sticker on yourself

friend your time is running out
so tell me how it's constructed somehow
socially, economically, and just all around
and I watched the earth burn to the ground

words we throw around
to show we have compassion down
takes its toll on all of us
and the words we make up
to shut the others up
will only divide us even further
what are we supposed to be when no one's happy
in a world that has the potential to give us everything
we don't utilize it well, we drag it all to hell
where there is a nice warm spot for all of us

friend your time is running out
to save us somehow
doesn't anyone care anymore
or is this what we're destined for
