The Screen

I just don't think that this is quite how it's supposed to be
This is not how I'd have done it had I been made the king
If everything comes down to what you can do for me
Then why do I feel empty when I surround myself with things

I just wish everybody liked everybody else
And I was just thinking you were thinking I was thinking something else
It's hard to hear the music when you're singing to a different tune
But I think we can do better and it's gotta' happen really soon
Hey

It's not hard to divide us, create an enemy
Just pick a hue, yes, red will do and give a little more to green
Freedom is not purchased, but we're made to do the math
And if that is why you're smiling then what will make you laugh

I just wish everybody liked everybody else
And I was just thinking you were thinking I was thinking something else
It's hard to hear the music when you're singing to a different tune
But I think we can do better and it's gotta' happen really soon
Hey, hey

The situation is quite pointless, or that's what they're telling me
But I'm just so goddamn disappointed, and I'm just not listening

I just wish everybody liked everybody else
And I was just thinking you were thinking I was thinking something else
It's hard to hear the music when you're singing to a different tune
But I think we can do better and it's gotta' happen really, really, really soon

So when the image on the screen says there is no other way
Do you take it as a challenge, or do you just obey
And how can I be so sure that this is not how it's meant to be
Because everyone wants harmony, it's just we sing in different keys
