Do you ever wonder why
Time just seems to trip on by
With so much on our side
Still nothing's been changed
We could take opposing views
But I'm not in the mood
No simple shift in attitude's
That easily arranged
Between us, we could change the world we know
Between us, we could make it grow
Between us, we could expand the universe,
Between us, we could do much worse
You run round and chase your tail
To feed the world and save the whale
You tell yourself that you can't fail
It's an emergency
Me I just like sitting here
Drinking in the atmosphere
As clouds appear and disappear
There's no urgency
Between us, there's a gulf an ocean wide,
Between us, the greatest of divides
Between us, disharmony, disunity
Between us, a veil of apathy
and we could do so much
If we could only find some direction
Just reach out a hand to touch
And make that vital connection
In every bar in every town
Party people gather round
Making love and falling down
With nothing much to say
Life's a string of non-events
That don't make any sense
Feeling sweet indifference
That's the only way
