Things are just so

And of course the times are evil
and all youth has gone astray
our morality's a morass
you can see it everyday

   but the flower wouldn't grow
   and no diamond would get out
   yes the flower wouldn't grow
   if things weren't so
   yes things are just so

give me peace but not too much
'cause I'm so used to the pain
I would run but very soon
I'd start suffering again

   refr.

And of course I'm full of anger
petty jealousy and hate
they live side by side with loving
makes it so hard to feel straight

    refr.

watch the bloodshed on TV
listen to the radio
spokesmen mouth hypocrisy
while your mind just comes and goes
