It's hard enough to be alone
It's harder still to spend so long
Looking for happiness
And feeling so restless
I know you feel like I do too
And even though I'm close to you
I can't be what you need
'Cause you're just as lost as me
And I just want to get high
But everyone keeps bringin' me down
And if you know something I don't
Come on and help me out
But I just don't understand
How the world keeps goin' nowhere
There's still so many people poor
Can't get my head around this wars
All of this senselessness
I'm feeling so helpless
So many people live and die
And never even question why
All of their dreams are gone
How do they carry on?
I would like some peace of mind
I've got such a heavy heart
And you were broken down before
You had a chance to start
And I just don't understand
How the world keeps goin' nowhere
I just want to get high
But everyone keeps bringin' me down
And if you know something I don't
Come on and help me out
But I just don't understand
How the world keeps goin' nowhere
