Little Things

You say we should be first
Clearly better than everybody
Put ourselves before the rest
You don't want to think about anybody else

But who are you and who are they?
Artificial lines, we're almost mostly the same
If you break under the surface
I think you'll find we're not so deep
Mostly good, but also prone to greed

Can we change the conversation?
I want an intervention
I hope it's not too late
I can't sleep, I just cannot shake
The way we're floating on this rock together
You and I, we're all the same
We're all to blame

Look down on those who have less
Pull themselves up by their bootstraps
Show me a man that's self-made
I'll show you one that's full of crap

Who is rich and who is poor
Not how smart you are, but where you were born
If we can cut the bullshit
Money doesn't make you good
Have you even read that fucking book

Can we change the conversation?
I want a permanent vacation
I hope it's not too late
I can't sleep, I just cannot shake
The way you and me look at each other
Do you feel the same
We're both to blame

Why can't we love each other
Why can't we let it be

Live, try, we're always running out of time
Live, die, we're always running out of time
