Musical Accompaniment:
Sometimes it seems a mystery how people get along
If we are single music notes, how'd we ever make a song
For we are all so different, we're all going different ways
And no one can agree upon how best to solve the maze
So we make the same mistakes all over when we should've learned from them
We're quick to quick to take offense but even quicker to offend
And the song we sing is more than multilingual
It's the meaning of life and it's actually quite simple
We've become champions of survival and so possess more time for the pursuit
But the way out of this maze called life we constantly dispute
The answers to our questions have grown too hard to ascertain
Everything that's fed to us is laced with vanity and cocaine
Our lives are over-salted and we've forgotten the real taste
The way we deal with loss is to have our things replaced
But emotional investment makes no two things ever the same
With each loss, a tiny piece of us is given to the flames
And our physical possessions, our connections great and small
They will be the reasons for our eventual downfall
The words of all our prophets are constantly ignored
Or even worse: misunderstood and accredited to a lord
Thousands of years it's been like this, we don't know any other way
We worship our false idols though they're leading us astray
And yet the problem isn't difficult, we just have to take the time to think
We're so close to the solution but we must replace our vices with instinct
