Is It Just Me

| [VERSE 1] |
| Is it just me, or did it used to be |
| We could all get by with only one TV |
| Kids were cool, they stayed in school |
| They did the time if they broke the rule |
| Now it's big screens, designer jeans |
| And we can't figure out how to talk to our teens |
| Seeking fame, a burned out flame |
| Everybody looking for another soul to blame |
| [CHORUS] |
| Is it just me, or could we all agree |
| Things seem a little off track |
| I believe we gotta keep moving on |
| But sometimes we gotta step back |
| Take a look around at what's going down |
| Do we like the things we see..... |
| Or is it just me |
| [VERSE 2] |
| We've turned the page, it's the modern age |
| But it ain't enough now just to earn a good wage |
| We gotta have big homes, bank loans |
| Keeping one eye on the neighbor named Jones |
| A little thrill, I finally climbed a hill |
| Then I opened up the drawer just to find another bill |
| I got a wife, she's got her own life |
| Cause we both gotta work, it's a double edged knife |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
| [VERSE 3] |
| We built the Internet, but a Vietnam vet's |
| Gotta cardboard box just to keep from getting wet |
| Is it priority, or is it just me |
| Can't we find a better way to use the technology |
| Am I making sense, is it false pretense |
| Are you trying to decide while you're sitting on the fence |
| I guess I'm done, I ain't trying to spoil your fun |
| I'm just trying to make the world a better place for my son |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
