In The Hearts Of Men
In the hearts of menIn the arms of mothersIn the parts we play to convince othersWe know what we're doingWe're doing it right
May have written books on the subjectBut then you may still be surprisedby your tone over the phoneto your sister while waiting in lineat the shopping mall just outside a town
In the hands of teachersIn the books you readThe things you say when we're lost the leadI still try to speak up but my voice won't make a soundAnd I thought it all over too many times
But when there is no useAnd the lights are all outI just give it up and I walk homePast the shopping mallThat's just closing down
Will you tell yourself,you all must be what you'll beWho's to say who is who and what is whatIf you simply don't agreeNow, time will come to claim youAnd it will have its wayDon't make mistakes and don't regretDon't waste the time that is leftAnd then do it all with a goddamn smile
In the hearts of menIn the arms of mothersIn the parts we play to convince others
