you're old enough to know better
as soon as you can see
this world is out to get you
the way it's gotten me
it starts out in the morning
then moves to afternoon
by the time you reach the evening
you're barking at the moon
between what you're told and what you see
you'll know that it's just another show
everybody sells something
everybody's got game
we all keep believing
no one is to blame
the world keeps getting hotter
ice falls in the sea
we buy a bigger engine
and say it isn't me
between what we say and what we mean
it's clean far away from that machine
we talk on the phone
because we're alone
and everyone knows it
we feel overdue
we want something new
and everyone knows it
it's time to join the living
time to understand
we're all in this together
we got to have a plan
we'll face the in distinction
every other day
there's got to be an answer
we've got to find a way
between what is dead and what is green
we learn what to keep and what to burn
between what is fair and what's obscene
it's clean far away from that machine
