I've seen a lot of things in 5 years

I struggle just to hold back the tears

but every fuckin' where I go I see the pathos
that I know

will spell the termination of us all

someone's got to tell me, do you see

that everything around you has a hidden tragedy?

seeds of happiness have never found a place to
grow

and our generation doesn't know

when, when will you try

to change the logarithmic face of kissing things
goodbye?

when, when will you know

that human life is so short, death is oh so slow

I've tried to make things make sense but I can't

I'm happy just to watch them all and laugh

and if you think you've got it made just revel in
your selfish ways

'cuz when the world stops turning so will you!
