I think I see where the problem lies,
No one agrees so all must die,
Too many sheep bleating their ayes,
Caring's too hard so nobody tries.
No one agrees so all must die,
Selling their dreams and blinding their eyes,
Caring’s too hard so nobody tries,
Plugging their ears and bleeding goodbyes.
Selling their dreams and blinding their eyes,
Turreting walls and hoarding supplies,
Plugging their ears and bleeding goodbyes,
Closing their minds and not asking why.
Turreting walls and hoarding supplies,
Baking allies into mock apple pies,
Closing their minds and not asking why,
Sealing their lips while letting loose sighs.
Baking allies into mock apple pies,
Trading sweet life without trying to fly,
Sealing their lips while letting loose sighs,
I don’t understand how Man went awry.
Trading sweet life without trying to fly,
The Golden Rule must be reapplied,
I don’t understand how Man went awry,
I ache with pain when humanity cries.
The Golden Rule must be reapplied,
Too many sheep bleating their ayes,
I ache with pain when humanity cries,
I think I see where the problem lies.
