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.

Why do we waste our lives

Why do we stay asleep

So many confused words

So many total disasters there are

We all try to change the world

But change has to come from ourselves

So much ignored advice

So many drowned and wasting away

Everybody wants to be free

But before this can be

You've got to learn, learn how to see

Just from what it is that you want to be free

Why do we waste our lives

Wy do we stay asleep

So many confused words

So many total disasters there are
