[01:23.027]There ain't no reason things
[01:25.589]Are this way
[01:26.789]It's how they always been and
[01:28.278]They intend to stay
[01:30.645]I can't explain why we live this way
[01:34.414]We do it every day
[01:38.405]Preachers on the podium
[01:40.364]Speaking of saints
[01:42.104]Prophets on the sidewalk
[01:44.244]Begging for change
[01:46.004]Old ladies laughing
[01:47.845]From the fire escape
[01:49.904]Cursing my name
[01:53.207]I gotta a basket full of lemons
[01:55.300]And they all taste the same
[01:57.450]A window and a pigeon
[01:59.297]With a broken wing
[02:01.200]You can spend your whole life
[02:03.245]Working for something
[02:05.344]Just to have it taken away
[02:09.214]People walk around pushing
[02:11.176]Back their debts
[02:13.000]Wearing paychecks like
[02:15.003]Necklaces and bracelets
[02:16.600]Talking about nothing
[02:18.109]Not thinking about death
[02:20.432]Every little heartbeat
[02:22.273]Every little breath
[02:24.112]People walk a tightrope
[02:26.100]On a razors edge
[02:28.140]Carrying their hurt
[02:29.800]And hatred and weapons
[02:32.000]It could be a bomb
[02:33.630]Or a bullet
[02:34.300]Or a pen
[02:35.550]Or a thought
[02:36.600]Or a word or a sentence
[02:39.300]There ain't no reason things
[02:42.000]Are this way
[02:43.400]How they've always been
[02:44.800]And they intend to stay
[02:47.200]I can't explain
[02:48.700]Why we live this way
[02:51.000]We do it every day
[03:10.200]There ain't no reason things
[03:12.590]Are this way
[03:14.100]How they've always been
[03:15.500]And they intend to stay
[03:17.800]I can't explain
[03:19.300]Why we live this way
[03:21.800]We do it every day
