My president  said war would secure freedom
And my pastor said prayer was the key
My doctor told me the meds will help
And the courts said their laws will help
So why are we still empty and searching..

My Lover said falling in love would ease
And my teacher told me knowledge will be power
My banker said these profits would change my life
And the cook said his chicken would change my life
So explain why I'm still empty and searching

Google said they had all the answers
My boss said  the job would be fulfilling
And The cops promised their presence will make us feel safe

If you don't have the answers please don't tell me you do

I'm old enough I can handle the truth.
