Anyone that wants to sees that these are volatile times
And those who choose not to give a nod to big league crimes
We've called out for a timeout, asked to drop back and punt
But the majority enjoy their addiction to the illusion of a unified front
There's a threat and it's real alright, but it's right in our own back yard
We seem to be more frightened of the terrifying prospect of having to work hard
Clearly change is needed: drastic... sweeping... vast
Clearly we can't trust systems that have failed us in the past
When there's a sign on every door, says "DO NOT ENTER"
Better Burrow Back to Center
She wants more diamonds - she wants more pearls
She wants to look like all those cookie-cutter cover girls
She wants more comfort - she wants more toys
She wants you to climb the ladder like all of the other boys
She wants to chase life on the surface, you can't prevent her
But you can Burrow Back to Center
As in and down we go, we will learn the
Things we need to know, to help to turn the
Wheels of change so slow, and even earn the
Right to see the sweaty smiles of all the other Center Seekers
Out of lemon, out of lime
Out of vodka, and I'm out of time
Out of patience, out of gin
Out of my mind thinkin' 'bout how things mighta been
If you see the need to be a re-inventer
Better Burrow Back to Center
Can't afford to buy, can't afford to be a renter
But you can Burrow Back to Center
As in and down we go, we will learn the
Things we need to know, to help to turn the
Wheels of change so slow, and even earn the
Right to see the grimy smiles of all who Burrowed Back to Center
