Lyrics
If there's so much magic in the world how come
We can't make all the hate and complication disappear
If there's so much love inside us all how come
We're constantly comparing one another, well, I fear
Maybe we weren't meant to fit, we're just designed to act like this
Intending who we'll never be in all these empty lives we lead
In this great society
If there's so much wisdom in the world how come
We've never figured out a way to learn from our mistakes
Like spoiled little boys and girls, we take for granted
But we seldom put a thing back in its place
We're all so tired and bored of it, we're self-absorbed and full of shit
We talk about humanity but so many wind-up on their knees
In this great society
We all proclaim this all must change, but that's so inconvenient
So, like before, we find detours to take our minds off who we really are
If there's so much freedom in the world how come
I can't recall the last time I was honest with myself
If there's compassion in us all how come
I can't forgive that part of me I see in someone else
We love to leave the ones we trust, they always expect too much
Then, with our humility, we count the quiet casualties
In this great society
