So I'm sitting there on the couch talking to my shrink
So calmly and quietly he asks me what I think
Tells me I can speak honestly
"What do you feel like your problem is?
Nothing you say here will ever go past that door."
I said, "I think I'm a genius but I've been wrong before."
So I'm reading the news again everything is bad
Turn on the TV the commercials make me mad
All these weird pharmaceuticals
With their ridiculous side effects
No big deal here that death comes in one every four
I say they can't get away with this but I've been wrong before
I'm looking around
Reeling in shock
You wonder how people can be so mean
Especially behind the wheels of their cars
Or from the safety of their iPhone screens
They're punching out comics in comedy clubs
Need I say more?
So I'm sitting here on the couch talking to my wife
It's a hard day at work but it's a wonderful life
She says, "Stephen, you gotta stay positive.
You're too hard on the human race.
It's not only racism, poverty and war,
Slavery, pollution, shootings by the score,
And the fact that most leaders are psychopathic whores
Who just want more and more and more..."
I say, "I think we're evolving babe but I've been wrong before."
I think we're evolving but I've been wrong before
Yeah I think we're evolving but I've been wrong before
