Ian Moore Society Lyrics

Society Lyrics

I've been really trying

To get some peace of mind

But the world just keeps on spinning

And I am starting to unwind



Teachers teaching children

To go out and get their own

But they forget about the heart

They forget about their souls



And it's hard to convince yourself

When your life's been gauged by power and wealth

Spend your whole life trying to break free

From this society



So I climb up to a higher place

Where I am not binded by tradition

Or ruled by any race



The system always pulls me down

Can't stand to set me free

Throw me right back in the masses

Say that's where you're gonna be



And it's hard to convince yourself

When your life's been gauged by power and wealth

Spend your whole life trying to break free

From this society



Still dream a dream of humanity

Somewhere a world exists

In softly turned phrases

And melodies of bliss



Painted in a picture

Of violets and blues

Stolen from the moment

When I first encountered truth



And it's hard to convince yourself

Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth

Spend your whole life trying to break free

From this society



And it's hard to convince yourself

Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth

Spend your whole life trying to break free

From this society



I have been really trying

To get some peace of mind
