Downtown I've got a couple of friends

Real big on opinions

They're getting down with division

They say we'll be alright but not tonight man'

The longer my life the harder it is to find the time to fake it

If I don't understand my fellow woman & man I might be hearing a nonversation

What is living if it's not on film?

Who am I and is this real?

Making noise in the big abyss

Stubbing my toes on every crisis

Rock & roll, country or folk?

Better turn it up on all the stations

And if you don't understand your fellow woman & man you might be hearing a nonversation

forget the lesson that you learned in the past

You'll get critical & cynical fast

And if it ain't nice don't say it

I've gotta talk from the heart now

Lend a hand when my brother is down

let go of wheel

don't need to win a fight that I can't feel

Lennon was right imagine the life when you're not looking for a hill to die on

& If you don't understand your fellow woman & man you might be hearing a nonversation
