My mom went to the store
handed over a coin
the keeper gave her back two

Yes, my mom does that too
it's called 'change' they say
still doesn't make much sense

How irrational, these grown-ups are

Today my son asked me
why do some people live on the streets
if we are all children of God

Yes, you have a point
we justify it all
but we don't really know

How irrational, we grown-ups are
