Old at Heart - The Silly Things We Do Lyrics

You wanted to sing
Share your ideas
You've got all of us listening
Say what you want to say
But if you wanted validation
When you glorify hate
I don't wanna hear from you
Cause that's all you'll do
So sing about life
So sing about love
Don't wanna hear about your politics
And who you despise
Don't you tell me your religion
Is the only truth
I don't wanna hear about you
And all the silly things you think you have to do
Who really cares who wins your football game?
Follow your heart but please ignore your brain
She shouldn't speak so loudly doesn't she know
If you're not one of us you've got to go
Have you learned about life
Did you learn about love
You preach about how government
Should behave
In your philosophy
Of theocracy
I don't wanna hear about you
And the silly things you do
But you disseminate lies
You misunderstand me
And that's intentional
Ugliness is beauty
Try to tell me your religion
Isn't all about death
So I don't wanna hear about you
And all the silly things you think you have to do
Try to convince me of your point of view
How can you prove that your belief is true?
Do unto them before they get you first
We'll all be playing dice with the universe
Life is Beautiful here
(Life is beautiful here)
Lose the blinders
Open your eyes and see
If you've got to sing
Can you sing about Life?
Please sing about love
Don't wanna hear about politics
Don't sing about hate
Don't you tell me your religion
Is the only truth
Don't wanna hear about you
And the silly things you do
I'll sing about peace
I'll sing about love
I might sound naive
But I'll sing about love
Gonna hope your eyes can
Open wide some day
I can even love you
I guess that's the silly thing I do
