Society - Lyrics - Ian Moore

I've been really trying to get some peace of mind But the world just keeps on spinning & I'm starting to unwind Teachers teaching children to go out and get their own But they forget about their hearts forget about their souls It's hard to convince yourself When your life's been gauged by power and wealth Spend your life trying to break free From this society So I climb up to a higher place Where I'm not blinded by tradition or ruled by any race The system always pulls me down it can't stand to see me free Throw me right back to the masses say that's where you're gonna be It's hard to convince yourself When your life's been gauged by power & wealth Spend your life trying to break free From this society I still dream a dream of humanity that somewhere a world exists in softly turned phrases & melodies of bliss Painted a picture of violets and blues Stolen from the moment when I first encountered truth It's hard to convince yourself When your life's been gauged by power & wealth Spend your life trying to break free From this society I've been really trying to get some peace of mind
