lyrics

I've got desperate thoughts clouding my focus
Like some unwitted victim of some hocus pocus
Trying to lift of this curse any desperate way that he can
And I plead with them to free me, cause I'm so sick of being
Curled up in this corner while the others are seeing
Their aspirations and dreams blooming into life
And then clarity calls and has a word in my ear
I should be so grateful, I'm still physically here
And my focus turns to the ones that were taken to soon

You see, it’s easy to grumble
It's easy to moan
It's easy to kid yourself
The universe owes you something
But the truth is
It doesn’t owe you anything at all
It's hard to satisfied
Grateful, content
It's hard to accept that maybe
This was all meant to be
That’s just our natural way to be
In the 21st century

We're all born of greed
In the 21st century
We're all born of greed
In the 21st century
We're all born of greed
In the 21st century
We're all born of greed
In the 21st century

You see, it’s easy to grumble
It's easy to moan
It's easy to kid yourself
The universe owes you something
But the truth is
It doesn’t owe you anything at all
It's hard to satisfied
Grateful, content
It's hard to accept that maybe
This was all meant to be
That’s just our natural way to be
In the 21st century
