Comprehension

Do you hear them in your other ear talking?

You never had to listen

Do I dare mention why I'm here

Or do you lack the comprehension?

Do you lack the comprehension?



I know better

But so do you

Or should I assume

That you don't know the truth

I hope you do

Do you?



Let me be the first to turn around

And admit that I don't feel too proud

Let me be the first to help you out

And tell you how we can make it better now



Say a prayer for your neighbors care

Cause there's a good chance that he needs it

Just a little bit more than you do



I know you and you know me

And we could try just a little bit harder

I've seen a man do many things



We know better

Your wisdom, it's worth more than gold

The young and the old

Now we just do what we're told

But it beats the cold

Don't it beat the cold?



Let me be the first to turn around

And admit that I don't feel too proud

Let me be the first to help you out

And I'll tell you how we can make it better now
