| Rush Hold Your Fire Second Nature A memo to a higher office Open letter to the powers-that-be To a God, a king, a head of state A captain of industry To the movers and the shakers -- Can't everybody see? It ought to be second nature -- I mean, the places where we live! Let's talk about this sensibly -- We're not insensitive I know progress has no patience -- But something's got to give I know you're different -- You know I'm the same We're both too busy To be taking the blame I'd like some changes But you don't have the time We can't go on thinking It's a victimless crime No one is blameless But we're all without shame We fight the fire -- while we're feeding the flames Folks have got to make choices -- And choices got to have voices Folks are basically decent Conventional wisdom would say Well, we read about the exceptions In the papers every day It ought to be second nature -- At least, that's what I feel "Now I lay me down in Dreamland" -- I know perfect's not for real I thought we might get closer -- But I'm ready to make a deal Today is different, and tomorrow the same It's hard to take the world the way that it came Too many rapids keep us sweeping along Too many captains keep on steering us wrong It's hard to take the heat -- It's hard to lay blame To fight the fire -- while we're feeding the flames |
