You keep on walking past people on the street
Rationalising that they got it easy
Jog on home to your maudlin tower
Where you charge compassion by the hour
You grew up hearing "you're special", it's true
But the big wide world don't care about you
It wants to know what you've to offer
But you take too much so that's all for now, sir
So what's your answer going to be?
Gonna give it a go or take it easy?
Open your eyes or choose to be blind
'Cause we ain't much time and I won't be wasting mine
Next you're picking on the poor
'Cause they won't fight back so you've courage
A skeletal hand don't grip any money
But you get your lessons straight from the clergy
I tell you there's another way you think it's a joke
Probably why you're spiritually broke
Really it's a simple decision
To shine the light on your mind's prison
So what's your answer going to be?
Gonna give it a go or take it easy?
Open your eyes or choose to be blind
'Cause we ain't much time and I won't be wasting mine
And if you're not ready well that's okay
Crawl on back to your darkened cave
But while you're there don't cast aspersions
We've already enough negative charlatans
Now's not the time to pretend
Stop living inside your head
Lost in a pool of words
But it don't need to be so blurred
So what's your answer going to be?
Gonna give it a go or take it easy?
Open your eyes or choose to be blind
'Cause we ain't much time and I won't be wasting mine
