Time to put priorities in order As we dance across the border Of what is love and what is madness Time to deal with all the sadness Buried deep beneath the floorboards In the houses entertainment built Where the silence seems to double every day Mother, tell me is this what you wanted I have tried my best to keep away From the privilege in my father's name So who's to blame for certain? Who can it be behind the curtain? The one who orchestrates the violence Boasting overtures of blinding rage from the family stage It's changing us (changing us) Never waking up (waking up) Just look at us And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are It's simple Yeah so simple But if it's so simple Why can't we just get it? It's torture Rumors whispered around the corners Scratching at our brains like fingernails I guess that's what we get for telling tales Until there's none to tell It's changing us (changing us) Never waking up (waking up) Just look at us And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are It's simple Yeah it's simple But if it's so simple Why can't we just get it? And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are I think it's simple Yeah it's simple But if it's so simple Why can't we just get it? And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are It's simple
