I wonder if one day we'll have any money
We laugh 'cause we have to, but one day
We'll laugh 'cause it's funny
Sure, I make predictions, I don't make decisions
I don't lead the band after all
And this megaphone makes me sound so small
I might as well try reinventing the wheel
What business have I telling time
Which wounds to heal
I wonder if ever the planet will turn
On an axis of evenness, each person given
A day when they'll smile for no reason
That's too much to ask, an electionless effort
'Cause no one is up for the task
So we're stuck throwing stones
From a house built of bones
I love my society, treat it like family
Wish I could tell it to tear itself free
From the talons of tyrants who tower like toddlers
Above every block they can seize, A to Z
I might as well try reinventing the wheel
What business have I telling time
Which wounds to heal
Still I'd like to think that we're perched
On the brink of enlightenment
If I catch a glint of it, what the hell
Might as well brighten it
And try telling time
Telling time how it's better spent
