We Don't Understand
Another hurried step escapes the light
Another thought is stifled out of fright
And when the day is over, so's the night
We just can't seem to get it right
So we tear others out of spite
Another fighting chance escapes the hand
Another hope is washed up on the sand
And yet we act like we don't understand
Why we can't have what we demand
We don't accept a reprimand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
What it takes to be a man
We don't understand
Another word of hate escapes the tongue
Another ladder's broken, rung by rung
But it's ok, cause songs were sadly sung
To mask the sound of crying lungs
And now the banner's being hung
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
See others' deep despair
Pretend it isn't there
Then we don't have to care, you see
There is no problem near
If you don't see or hear
What causes others fear, but we
We write our symphonies
We bring them to their knees
We still ignore the pleas of peace
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
Another thought is stifled out of fright
And when the day is over, so's the night
We just can't seem to get it right
So we tear others out of spite
Another fighting chance escapes the hand
Another hope is washed up on the sand
And yet we act like we don't understand
Why we can't have what we demand
We don't accept a reprimand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
What it takes to be a man
We don't understand
Another word of hate escapes the tongue
Another ladder's broken, rung by rung
But it's ok, cause songs were sadly sung
To mask the sound of crying lungs
And now the banner's being hung
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
See others' deep despair
Pretend it isn't there
Then we don't have to care, you see
There is no problem near
If you don't see or hear
What causes others fear, but we
We write our symphonies
We bring them to their knees
We still ignore the pleas of peace
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
We don't understand
We don't understand
No, we don't understand
Just what it takes to be a man
