It's a beautiful world filled with stupid people Beating each other's brains out like the cavemen did But I'm stuck right here Wondering why I can't do what the brave men did Oh, don't I know, this ain't no way to live When everything I see and hear makes me mad And there's no silver lining The stuff that doesn't make me angry makes me sad Hard to believe I'm not a kid Hard to believe the things I did Hard to believe the ways I hid my love Wondering now why I'm not free Wondering how I came to be An island of anger in a sea of love And love rules, this much I understand But all the ones who live for peace, die for it Still, somehow that message comes And every day I struggle to decipher it Hard to believe I'm not a kid Hard to believe the things I did Hard to believe the ways I hid my love Wondering now why I'm not free Wondering how I came to be An island of anger in a sea of love Younger by half, I was quick to laugh Hopeful and alive to what might come Where's my spark? Skies so dark All I seem to hear is a distant drum Ooh-ooh Hard to believe I'm not a kid Hard to believe the things I did Hard to believe the ways I hid my love Wondering now why I'm not free Wondering how I came to be An island of anger in a sea of love Hard to believe that time's so short Hard to believe I'm still in port Dying to set a different sort of course Wondering now how I'll get free And how I become a refugee From an island of anger in a sea of love Love
