Do you hear them in your other ear talking?
(You never had to listen) 
Do I dare mention why I'm here or do you
(Lack the comprehension?)
Do you lack the comprehension?
 
I know better
But so do you 
Or should I assume
That you don't know the truth
I hope you do
Do you?

Let me be the first to turn around
And admit that I don't feel too proud
Let me be the first to help you out
And tell you how we can make it better now

Say a prayer for your neighbors care
Cause there's a good chance that he needs it
Just a little bit more than you do

I know you and you know me
And we could try just a little bit harder
I've seen a man do many things

We know better 
Your wisdom? It's worth more than gold 
The young and the old 
Now we just do what we're told
But it beats the cold
Don't it beat the cold

Let me be the first to turn around
And admit that I don't feel too proud
Let me be the first to help up you out
And I'll tell you how we can make it better now
