Hearing all about a situation and the only thing illuminated is a tragedy The loss of commonality And the languages of economics tell of millions Of people removed from their homes Talking revenue, it just seems so cynical And I've been searching for some answers But they're getting hard to find We've got problems They're not solved by shouting down those men in suits They don't care They don't care at all Hear the prophets of a false salvation Selling answers on a TV station The politics of scapegoats have not gone out of style Hear the voices at the demonstration Confused and angry And trying to make sense of the loss they feel But don't know what to call And the problems of the least generation Are the roots taken hold in mine Where the politics of self preservation Are the cause of a state of mind And I've been searching for some answers But they're getting hard to find Yeah They're getting hard to find And we've been running down these halls before Searching for change in the houses of permanence And retraced steps won't take us nowhere at all
