Funny thing how the simple things are the most rewarding A fact to often forgot It's a sign of the state of things and times we live in The stuff we could do without Wouldn't it be grand if there were no highways And children still went outside to play Everybody's in such a goddamn hurry There's no need to hurry Out of gas now the clock is ticking and prices rising Why must some pay with their lives Our only hope is to stop consuming and be mindful It's our human right Wouldn't it be grand if there were no highways And children still went outside to play Everybody's in such a goddamn hurry There's no need to hurry Funny thing how the simple things are the most rewarding Just look at the stars in the sky. It's a sign of the state of things and times we live in Our heart beats but are we truly alive? Wouldn't it be grand if there were no highways And children still went outside to play Everybody's in such a goddamn hurry There's no need to hurry
