Can you for once
Focus on my wants
Not my needs
Or my faults

Put the time
Towards listening
Sit back, relax
Not say a thing

All I really
Need is a friend
Above all else
Just listening

As I hang my feelings
Out to dry
To gently nod
Along in silence

Someone to focus
On my wants
Not all my needs
Or my many faults
Sometimes you don't need someone to fix you, just someone to listen.

Share if you like
Peace in our time
Before it's too late
Eradicate hate
Show off more love
Before time is up
No reason to fight
We need peace in our time

It's all coming apart
With these endless wars
Which don't do a thing
But give the rich more money
Pit us against ourselves
Tell us they're here to help
With a fresh change of mind
We need peace in our time

We need to turn in our swords
And other weapons of war
Judge from the heart
Who our enemies are
Count off this day
As a day of change
Share if you like
Peace in our time

I will not lie
To tell the truth
There's not a condiment
That I won't use
To dip my chips
Or smother fries
Mayonnaise
Ketchup on the side

With the versatility
Of ranch dressing
Pay close attention
To this lesson
Add siracha please
For a spicy quest
Heavy handed
With the squeeze no less

And when it comes
To sandwich dip
Thousand Island
Makes for the perfect trip
Taking you straight to
Paradise
There's not a condiment
That I don't like

Mustard never
Is at a loss
When complimenting
The Hot Dog
On a stick
Or in a bun
Apply it as
Thick as you want

When it comes
To anything
Deep red meat
Or leafy green
I will not lie
To tell the truth
There's not a condiment
That I won't use

Who do you bow down to
When you're out n' about worshiping
Do you go to your cell phone
Or the throne of your T.V.

Do you idolize the car you drive
The faster that it goes
Or place yourself high on the shelf
When you are home alone

Is your gratitude placed on food
To get you through troubled times
Could it be the devil's drink
That makes everything alright

Who is your god that gives the nod
You spend your spare time with
If you had to go, it on your own
Would you feel you couldn't live

I can tell you, who you bow down to
While here, your heart still beats
Makes a difference in this life and
For all eternity

you know what i find
most of the time
in my dealings
when dealing with time

however many hoops
that you jump through
in it's pursuit
keeps coming for you

leaving its mark
in cased face to face
so, there's no denying
what's taking place

time will tell
time will lie
just when you need a minute
it finds the time to hide

time clearly has
it out for us
sneaks around full circle
ashes to ashes, dust to dust

time will leap
time will lunge
this, that, and the other
plus all of the above

why are we
unsatisfied
in all that we do
in most that we try
when it comes to
living this life
we never seem to
be satisfied

whether new to the scene
or been here a few
so easily bored
with all we go through
if you've yet to guess
and haven't a clue
we're unsatisfied
to tell the truth

with what we have to show
we're unsatisfied
in what's going on
the facts do not lie
hold out little hope
that we'll ever find
inside of this life
that we'll ever be satisfied

I see the wrong
That's going on
In today's society

Which makes me say
The way they behave
Is so hard to believe

Not once do I
Turn aside
And criticize myself

With blinders on
I hum along
Like everybody else

If you ask me
It's easier to see
Someone else needs help
In the way we're dealt
Than to see yourself

Fingers out of joint
I tend to point
At the debauchery

With no idea
It's me I kid
As they're the same as me

With a show of hands
How many can
Say they do the same

We'll fool ourselves
Straight to hell
If we don't stop this game
