Is it a matter of timing?
Or simply a matter of time?
As we await moments arriving
Have we lost the last of our minds?
​
Is it a matter of virtue?
What separates the bad from the good?
The righteous among us
They find kinds of trouble
The wicked ones never quite could
And everything I thought I knew
Has based on a certain set of simple truths
And a fair bit of circumstance and deja vu
And I’m starting to doubt myself
​
Is it a matter of timing?
Is it just a matter of time?
The lessons I’ve learned are expiring
And I don’t particularly mind
Everything I thought I knew
Has based on a certain set of simple truths
And a fair bit of circumstance and deja vu
And I’m starting to doubt myself
And just about everyone else
​
Is it a matter of timing?
Have we lost the last of our minds?
