  • Nothing can survive in a vacuum
    No one can exists all alone
    We pretend things only happen to strangers
    We've all got problems of our own

    It's enough to learn
    To share our pleasures
    We can't sooth pain with sympathy
    All that we can do is be reminded
    We shake our heads at the tragedy

    Every day we're standing
    In a time capsule
    Racing down a river from the past
    Every day we're standing
    In a wind tunnel
    Facing down the future coming fast

    It's just the age
    It's just a stage
    We disengage
    We turn the page

    Looking at
    The long-range forecast
    Catching all the names in the news
    Checking out
    The state of the nation
    Learning the environmental blues

    Truth is after all a moving target
    Hairs to split,
    And pieces that don't fit
    How can anybody be enlightened
    Truth is after all so poorly lit Writer/s: ALEX ZIVOJINOVICH, GARY LEE WEINRIB, NEIL ELWOOD PEART

  • Patrick from Bedford, TxThis one I can get into. That bass part and guitar part are pretty good. Also, to Brett from Regina: nice job being from Regina, I hear it's a pretty cool place.
  • Brett from Regina, CanadaIt is tough to sing and play at the same time.
