Going Nowhere - Intellectual

Considering

So many folks dissatisfied with everything

Who need someone to understand they're lonely

They're lonely

And they're not alone

And everywhere

They shrug their shoulders

Tell themselves that they don't care

And all the while they make believe they're happy

Oh, they're happy

But not really

And they're asked to hold the world together

Make it happen

Give it children

Who in turn are turning on to going nowhere

And all the strength they'd ever need to help them

Has been wasted

Remains hidden

In the confusion of going nowhere

And who am I

To criticize the world that I have grown up in

Most of you would tell me that I'm crazy

Yes, I'm crazy

I can't help it

I understand

That where you are is where you've been so many years

And things that tend to change you, tend to hurt you

Yes, they hurt you

Very deeply

And still you try to hold the world together
