Society Lyrics

I've been really trying
To get some peace of mind
But the world just keeps on spinning
And I am starting to unwind

Teachers teaching children
To go out and get their own
But they forget about the heart
They forget about their souls

And it's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society

So I climb up to a higher place
Where I am not blinded by tradition
Or ruled by any race

The system always pulls me down
Can't stand to set me free
Throw me right back in the masses
Say that's where you're gonna be

And it's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society

Still dream a dream of humanity
Somewhere a world exists
In softly turned phrases
And melodies of bliss

Painted in a picture
Of violets and blues
Stolen from the moment
When I first encountered truth

And it's hard to convince yourself
Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society

And it's hard to convince yourself
Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society

I have been really trying
To get some peace of mind
