Don't you understand?
There ás more to this than meets the eye
Here and now before you die
These really are the greatest times for anyone to be alive
A standard of living that is the best
Plenty of time to get some rest
We're living longer, growing healthier than any in the past

Just enough violence on TV
Between the sex and comedy
Twisting reality, but this is not how life is supposed to be
Fighting, drinking, getting high
Lying, stealing, getting by
No direction toward a goal of something meaningful and right

It's no wonder all the kids are
Angry
Violent
Uneducated
Alone
Wasted
Waiting
Unchallenged
Bored
