Do you hear them in your other ear talking?
You never had to listen
Do I dare mention why I'm here
Or do you lack the comprehension?
Do you lack the comprehension?

I know better
But so do you
Or should I assume
That you don't know the truth
I hope you do
Do you?

Let me be the first to turn around
And admit that I don't feel too proud
Let me be the first to help you out
And tell you how we can make it better now

Say a prayer for your neighbors care
Cause there's a good chance that he needs it
Just a little bit more than you do

I know you and you know me
And we could try just a little bit harder
I've seen a man do many things

We know better
Your wisdom, it's worth more than gold
The young and the old
Now we just do what we're told
But it beats the cold
Don't it beat the cold?

Let me be the first to turn around
And admit that I don't feel too proud
Let me be the first to help you out
And I'll tell you how we can make it better now
