THE REASON WHY
People look but they just don't see
Seem like they're listening but never seem to hear
Insomnia, pain, won't stop whirling
Love is a currency, you still use sterling
But some children never grow up
And see the world and see it fucked
And lyrics might be eloquent
But they stop at the skin
Whilst my heart cries tears
For the love wasted within
Like me when I ignored you on the bus
And you even sat next to me on the tube
And the mutual strangers never connect
And people even talk but nothing gets said
I'm reaching for your heart but your skin's like lead
The whole world goes to work
But nothing is produced
In the out tray lovers remain
Simply seduced
Valium is your only friend
And the world's got lots of money/love but none to lend
At school standing away from the rest
Crying in the concrete playground cos you're not the best
And the streets so dirty you don't want to walk
on them anymore
In fields of green lie naked and don't feel so sore
The sun is shining and your cheeks feel warm
And nature will stand when the concrete's been torn down
Torn down to the ground
Tear it down
Burn it down
…the most beautiful people in the world
