33We Tell Ourselves It's Not Tomorrow
Words & Music by Steven Morris
Step into the room full of flowers
Can't say we'll call some other day
But still we do out of habit
No time like now to procrastinate
The people here are getting older
That sadness of loss has coalesced to fear
The conversation has gotten duller
To play it safe as we tack on the years
We tell ourselves it's not tomorrow
Yet we'd all be rich if yesterdays
Were a currency that we could trade...
A currency that we could trade
We dial it back as we flounder
But we'll talk for hours when we celebrate
It might be better to be more open
'Cause it takes strength to share a weakened state
We were but children in 2000
But in '01 the world had changed
Decades gone, how do we answer?
Still send our youth so far away
We tell ourselves it's not tomorrow
Yet we'd all be rich if yesterdays
Were a currency that we could trade...
A currency that we could trade
Would you invest it in the market
to keep food on your plate?
Or do you ignore that portentous hunger
that feeds the dividends you crave?
We tell ourselves it's not tomorrow
Yet we'd all be rich if yesterdays
Were divested in the wars that we wage
Divested in the wars that we wage
