All Arranged #2

Lyrics

[Spoken] "Rolling." [Verse 1] Don't think about the lives we've missed or liberties we took Or illusions that the environment can be saved by writing books While children fall like snowflakes Each one's unique if you get a close enough look Before they melt to nothing [Verse 2] Their featherweight could crush us all, so cold and heavy and bright You can't save every one of them; you've got to pick your fights Lessons dress up like failures Teaching us to desperately want to make things right It never could be any other way It's all arranged, all arranged, all arranged [Verse 3] Don't worry about the government; they've got things under control Communists and believers will figure it out at the polls And the winners will be great actors But we'll all play different roles Read it like it's written No changes or revisions It's all perfectly arranged [Interlude] [Verse 4] The world is just a few days old; that makes us younger still Our innocent mistakes are recorded in the blood and the oil that we spill It might come back to haunt us But there's no guaranteein' that it will Coincidence and justice It never could be any other way It's all arranged, all arranged, all arranged [Outro] It's all arranged
