I've seen a lot of things in 5 years

I struggle just top 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 our logarithmic pace of kissing things goodbye?

When? When will you know that human life is so short and 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

'Cause when the world stops turning so will you!
