Society

I've been really trying To get some peace of mind But the world just keeps on spinning And I am starting to unwind Teachers teaching children To go out and get their own But they forget about the heart They forget about their souls And it's hard to convince yourself When your life's been gauged by power and wealth Spend your whole life trying to break free From this society So I climb up to a higher place Where I am not blinded by tradition Or ruled by any race The system always pulls me down Can't stand to set me free Throw me right back in the masses Say that's where you're gonna be And it's hard to convince yourself When your life's been gauged by power and wealth Spend your whole life trying to break free From this society Still dream a dream of humanity Somewhere a world exists In softly turned phrases And melodies of bliss Painted in a picture Of violets and blues Stolen from the moment When I first encountered truth And it's hard to convince yourself Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth Spend your whole life trying to break free From this society And it's hard to convince yourself Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth Spend your whole life trying to break free From this society I have been really trying To get some peace of mind
