You're old enough to know better as soon As you can see This world is out to get you the way it's gotten me It starts out in the morning then moves to afternoon By the time you reach the evenin' you're Barkin' at the moon Between what you're told and what you've seen You'll know that it's just another show Everybody sells somethin' everybody's got game We all keep believin' no one is to blame The world keeps getting hotter, ice falls in the sea We buy a bigger engine and say it isn't me Between what we say and what we mean It's clean far away from that machine We talk on the phone because we're alone And everyone knows it We feel overdue, we want something new And everyone knows it It's time to join with the living, time to understand We're all in this together, we've got to have a plan We're facing an extinction every other day There's got to be an answer, we've got to find a way Between what is dead and what is green We learn what to keep and what to burn Between what is fair and what's obscene It's clean far way from that machine
