Lyrics for Second Nature by Rush:
| | | Artist: | Rush |
| | Album: | Hold Your Fire | | Track: | Second Nature | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 142 | | | | Lyrics: | A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers-that-be
To a God, a king, a head of
state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers --
Can't everybody
see?
It ought to be second nature --
I mean, the places where we live!
Let's
talk about this sensibly --
We're not insensitive
I know progress has no patience
--
But something's got to give
I know you're different --
You know I'm the
same
We're both too busy
To be taking the blame
I'd like some changes
But you
don't have the time
We can't go on thinking
It's a victimless crime
No one is
blameless
But we're all without shame
We fight the fire -- while we're feeding the
flames
Folks have got to make choices --
And choices got to have voices
Folks
are basically decent
Conventional wisdom would say
Well, we read about the
exceptions
In the papers every day
It ought to be second nature --
At least,
that's what I feel
"Now I lay me down in Dreamland" --
I know perfect's not for
real
I thought we might get closer --
But I'm ready to make a deal
Today is
different, and tomorrow the same
It's hard to take the world the way that it came
Too many
rapids keep us sweeping along
Too many captains keep on steering us wrong
It's hard to
take the heat --
It's hard to lay blame
To fight the fire -- while we're feeding the
flames | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
