THE WORLD'S AN UNCOMFORTABLE PLACE

The World's An Uncomfortable Place

What were they thinking, the begining of time

With paradise given, then crossing the line

     Cast from the garden

     The shame on their face

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah, the world's an uncomfortable place


Who was the first to raise a hand in hate?

Who'll be the madman to end the human race?

    While we tend to our gardens

    Soon gone without a trace

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah, the world's an uncomfortable place


What you believe in

The color your skin

The size of your bankbook

Where will our prejudices end?

The clothes that you're wearing

The length of your hair

Of all the things that should matter

Do we notice or care?

That truth and lies can occupy the same space

That love and hate can occupy the same space

The world's an uncomfortable place

The world's an uncomfortable place


Water that's poisoned; Unbreathable air

An invisible virus, leaves streets empty in fear

     Our identities stolen

     Our existence erased

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah The world's an uncomfortable place


When will our eyes see, how blind we have been?

Pawns being played for political spin

     If when looking in a mirror

     You don't recognize your face

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah The world's an uncomfortable place

     All the world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah, the world's an uncomfortable place


What were they thinking, the begining of time

With paradise given, then crossing the line

     Cast from the garden

     The shame on their face

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     The world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah, the world's an uncomfortable place

     All the world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah the world's an uncomfortable place

     Yeah the world's an uncomfortable place
