When? Songtext / Lyric

I've seen a lot of things in five years

I struggle just to hold back the tears

But every-fucking-where I go, I see the pathos that I know

Will spell the termination of us all






Someone's got to tell me, do you see

That everything around you has a hidden tragedy?

Seeds of happiness have never found a place to grow

And our generation doesn't know



When, when will you try

To change the logarithmic face of kissing things goodbye?

When, when will you know

That human life is so short and death is oh so slow?



I've tried to make things make sense but I can't

I'm happy just to watch them all and laugh

And if you think you've got it made, just revel in your selfish ways

'Cause when the world stops turning so will you
