Conventional Wisdom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes life surprises
cause youd never expect it to be that
dangerous disguises
that you never expect to see
some things never change
nothings gonna change that
some things you cant explain
like why we're all embracing conventional wisdom in a world thats just so unconventional
made you turn around
but you never expected to see that
thats what makes that sound
that you never expect to hear
some things never change
some things wanna change that
some things you cant explain
like why we're all embracing conventional wisdom in a world thats just so unconventional
they dont know theyre wrong
but you know that they never can see that
thats what makes them strong
that they know that we'll never see
