Society Lyrics - Singles - Ian Moore

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 blinded 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
