|
It's a beautiful world |
|
Filled with stupid people |
|
Beating each other's brains out |
|
Like the cavemen did |
|
But I'm stuck right here |
|
Wondering why I can't do |
|
Like the brave men did |
|
Oh don't I know |
|
This ain't no way to live |
|
When everything I see and hear |
|
Makes me mad |
|
And there's no silver lining |
|
The stuff that doesn't get me angry |
|
Makes me sad |
|
Hard to believe I'm not a kid |
|
Hard to believe the things I did |
|
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love |
|
Wondering now why I'm not free |
|
Wondering how I came to be |
|
An island of anger in a sea of love |
|
And love rules |
|
This much I understand |
|
But all the ones who live for peace die for it |
|
Still somehow that message comes |
|
And every day I struggle to decipher it |
|
Younger by half |
|
I was quick to laugh |
|
Hopeful and alive to what might come |
|
Where's my spark |
|
Skies so dark |
|
All I seem to hear is a distant drum |
|
Hard to believe the time's so short |
|
Hard to believe I'm still in port |
|
Dying to set a different sort of course |
|
Wondering now how I'll get free |
|
And how to become a refugee |
|
From an island of anger |
|
In a sea of love |
