Yeah maybe I'm right,
Or maybe I'm wrong,
We can fight for one single way to get along,
And we've all got to not shake down,
And I'm only missing the point,
And I guess that's the way I'm trying to generalise

So I told my problems,
You're never going to get me,
If I'm too busy
A social conscience,
Well I saw it on the TV,
At least it keeps me busy

Oh maybe sometimes I find it hard to comply,
With people that don't look you in the eye,
And it's because of the commercial breakdown
And I'm only missing the point,
It's what the media say and then expect your head to turn away

So I told my problems,
You're never going to get me,
If I'm too busy
A social conscience,
Well I saw it on the TV,
At least it keeps me busy
Well am I right?

And I used to think that these things happen for a reason,
