It Must Look Pretty Appealing

The wheat waving next to you

is healthy and so fine

as is dinner with your loved ones everyday

But your routine is changeless

through the decades of your life

green pastures, open spaces, holy ways



And it must look pretty appealing

The acres of light, the crowded festive nights

and the millions of others just like you

Yeah it must look pretty appealing

This other world of sin

We keep dreaming of what other people do....



The person sitting next to you

is dismal and deranged

on the bus ride home from work to end your day

And the food on your table

is more plastic than protein

and your intellect depends on your TV



And it must look pretty appealing

The Pastoral Retreat, the folks on old main street

and the few pleasent people just like you

Yeah it must look pretty appealing

This simple way of life

We keep dreaming of what other people do...

but we never do what other people do...

You're too scared of other people not like you!
