Necessity is the Mother

There's a town somewhere
Where it's always night and day
Have you seen it?
Have you seen it?

It's a long way up there
But you know it's worth the climb
Can you make it?
Can you make it?

The town on the hilltop
Where they just see what is right
About each other
Never looking for a fight

They say necessity is the mother
That makes us change, and twist our minds
Mother we could use that change
By now

Now that you've become aware
You must ask yourself one thing
Do you want it?
Do you want it?

The town on a hilltop
Can't conceal it's shining light
The world grows darker
When you close your eyes to what's burning bright

They say necessity is the mother
That makes us change, and twist our minds
Mother we could use that change
By now

I can't remember
What smart people sound like
I can't remember
How loving people feel
We used to be
Oh, so sophisticated
It makes me wonder
Is this the last of civility?

They say necessity is the mother
That makes us change, and twist our minds
Mother we could use that change
Mother we could use that change
Mother we could use that change
By now
