The Nameless Wonder 4.11.86

I'm watching a man hug his son
I'm watching that man hand him a gun
I'm watching my friends curl up and die
I'm watching it all and wondering why
You can only change this world if you belong
But only outsiders can see what's going wrong

This is the Catch 22 of life
How can you love someone you treat like a wife?
This is the Catch 22 of the mind
If you forge ahead you're left behind

I'm looking at things for the very first time
I used to feel but now they tell me that's a crime
It seems like the earth is standing still
Leaving us open to the kill
You can only change this world if you belong
But only outsiders can see what's going wrong

This is the Catch 22 of life
How can you love someone you treat like a wife?
This is the Catch 22 of the mind
If you see things as they are you wish you were blind

I'm sittin' here listenin' to you
I'm sittin' here wondering what to do
I can't listen to you anymore
I've got to go out and even the score
You can only change this world if you belong
But only outsiders can see what's going wrong

This is the Catch 22 of life
How can you love someone you treat like a wife?
This is the Catch 22 of the mind
If you see things as they are you wish you were blind
