Lyrics
There's too much noise and there's too much trash
Not enough time and not enough cash
I think I'll step off the sidewalk and see what hits me..
Nothing. Nothing, nothing comes to mind
I've spent hours and weeks and years and I still can't find
Nirvana, epiphany, entropy, ecstasy or revolution
But it's packaged so nicely, it's so damn enticing
but it's not enlightening it's just hypnotizing
but it's how and it's where and it's when we live
I should just stop whining
When I was a boy it was all so fresh
Christmas time hover over the cresch
And look and the wiseman and Mary and Jesus
and bask in God's love
But I grew old and I grew to find
Living at peace takes an awful lot of time
And the workaday waste-away 9 to 5
Just don't provide it
But they'll sell you the secrets of successful people
And they'll sell you the steps to take to live a life that's peaceful
So if you've got the money then honey your fine
Stop whining
