So Why Don't We Fix It When Everybody Knows

Everybody knows the government is spying
Everybody knows the rich are getting richer
Everybody knows the poor are crying
And everybody knows they need a preacher
Everybody knows the war isn't over
And everybody knows there will be more lows

So why don't we fix it when everybody knows


Everybody knows the system is broken
Everybody knows hatred still exists in peoples heart
Everybody knows what the politicians are smoking
And everybody knows the people are coming apart
Everybody knows something must be done about it
But everybody knows the Emperor has no clothes

So why don't we fix it when everybody knows


Everybody knows the game is just a dance
Everybody knows the winner's in the bag
Everybody knows we didn't have a chance
And everybody knows the winner's a drag
Everybody knows we'll have to live with him
And everybody knows he will reach a major low

So why don't we fix it when everybody knows


Everybody knows people are frustrated
Everybody knows it's not our problem
Yet everybody knows our lives are being infiltrated
And everybody knows it's wrong to worry
And everybody knows the problem will grow

So why don't we fix it when everybody knows


Everybody knows the people who love them
Everybody knows they might not deserve it
So everybody isn't so sure
Everybody hopes they can control it
But they still count the score
If we fear what our friends will disclose

Then why don't we fix it when everybody knows


Everybody knows happiness is the way of life
Everybody knows it's hard to get
Everybody knows they should be happy
But there is still so much they regret
Everybody knows unhappy is crappy
But they don't feel they deserve the rose

So why don't we fix it when everybody knows
