Space


Why can we not trust ourselves?
Why do we always hurt ourselves?
Why must we close our doors?
Yeah we close our hearts!
Why can't we all be free
To live our lives with dignity
To help each other along the way
Instead of fostering our jealousy?

If we ever loved each other
If we were ever truly brothers
If we ever held compassion
For one another
Why must we hide from everyone?
Why do we horde our land from everyone?
Why do we all need so much of our own...

Space?!

Why are there homeless and drug addicts?
Why are there welfare family projects?
When there are million dollar mansions
With more rooms than they know what to do with?
Why is there social security anyway?
Why can't the rich just pave the way
By helping those who have none
Simply get by?

Why do we categorize and title?
Why can't we simply do what's right, or
When we do, not seek the praise and fame
Which boosts our ego endlessly?
Why are we always so divided?
Why can't we all just be united?
Why can't we all just give up some of our...

Space?!

Why can't we just simplify?!
Why won't we just simplify?!
When will we just simplify?!
Is it so hard to simplify!?!
Why can't we just simplify?!
Why don't we just simplify?!
Is it so hard to simplify?!
When will we just simplify?!

Why must our lives be so complex?
Why do we make so great a mess
Replacing friends and family
For zeros and ones
For anonymity and distant places
Far off spaces off all the bases
Who the hell really needs all this...

Space?!
