Song Description
It just felt like the right thing to write at the time. I bet the guys who built the pyramids never got a chance to think about changing everything through greater sincerety and honesty, because if they stopped pushing they'd be killed instantly. I'm so spoiled.

Lyrics
I sit in my armchair
And watch the world go by
You're moving oh so swiftly
I accidently catch your eye
For half an instant the world makes sense
I am your means to an end
I am your means to an end
I understand
I know my place, I know my boundaries
(Chorus)
I just can't stomache all the contradictions here
With so much apathy I'd swear the end was near
but even though the stars are brilliant in a an ever steady sky
I have begun to change
(verse 2)
My friend I said
The world is young and beautiful
Today is a mighty day
Today we can change everything
So work to make a joyful noise and sing it from your toes
Let the nations hear your hopefulness
They'll most likely murder you for it
Oh, I lay me down before the ways of grace
But I...
(Chorus 2)
I just can't stomache all the contradictions here
With such an urgency I'd swear the end was near
but even though the stars are brilliant in an ever steady sky
I have begun to change
(Chorus 3)
It's all I've got in me to keep up off the air
Or watch the pavement rise
To search for comfort there
But even though the same example has existed through the years
I have begun to change
My friend I said
The world is young and beautiful
Today is a mighty day
Today we can change everything...
