Too Understand
I've been guilty too, I ain't so pure,
you get a little bit, you just want more.
Go on destroying what little we got,
two steps forward three steps back.
In this crazy world you get no chances,
no-one bothers with the new dances.
Gotta get on with the pain of living,
don't look for handouts there's none been given.
It's easier to hate than to understand,
it's easier to hate than to understand.
A clenched fist or an open hand,
it's easier to hate than to understand.
Confusion reigns in vicious circles,
too much violence too many hurdles.
Peace of mind isn't much to ask for,
hangs in the air like burnin' sulphur.
There's carrots dangling everwhere,
the price you pay for a livin' nightmare.
The stench of death in every nation,
decay, disillusion and desperation.
.. sanity's just a state of mind
Conflict
This one was post-marked Santa Fe
All she had to say what thanks
For giving her the space
She was needing
Got out all her other cards tonight
And I've been pouring over every line
But the more I do
The less I think I like, what I'm reading
Chorus:
There isn't one wish you were here
I miss you my dear
I want you to know
I can't wait to come home
Not one single line saying distance in time
Is making me see
I'm really all that she needs
With every picture post-card she sends
There's a picture I'm starting to get
