The Meaning

Why are we here?
Just look at the comfort that you call your home
Just kidding yourself that you're never alone
Well, maybe there's something
There's one thing you shouldn't have said
So, you better beware
And you better get
And you better get light in your head
And you better get
And you better get peace in your bed
If you wanna get
If you wanna get high
You're watching the movie go blistering by
Just look at the sadness, I wish I could die
Well, maybe there's something
There's one thing that I should have said
Well, it better be said
Is the reckoning
Is the reckoning holding your heart?
It's beginning to
It's beginning to squeeze you apart
Don't you wanna get
Don't you wanna get high
You're holding the world in the palm of your hand
What you're tellin' your children you don't understand
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
Meaning is
Meaning is
Meaning is
Oh, you better beware
And you better get
And you better get light in your head
And you better get
So you better get peace in your bed
If you wanna get
If you wanna get high
Just look at the madness that glows in your eyes
Frightened the children will steal your disguise
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the answer is
If you know what the answer is
If you know what the answer is
If you know what the answer is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
If you know what the meaning is
