Second Nature - Rush[00:00:01]
Written by:Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson/Neil Peart[00:00:21]
A memo to a higher office[00:00:22]
Open letter to the powers that be[00:00:26]
To a god a king a head of state[00:00:30]
A captain of industry[00:00:34]
To the movers and the shakers[00:00:38]
Can't everybody see[00:00:42]
It ought to be second nature[00:00:48]
I mean the places where we live[00:00:51]
Let's talk about this sensibly[00:00:56]
We're not insensitive[00:00:59]
I know progress has no patience[00:01:03]
But something's got to give[00:01:08]
I know you're different[00:01:13]
You know I'm the same[00:01:15]
We're both too busy[00:01:17]
To be taking the blame[00:01:18]
I'd like some changes[00:01:21]
But you don't have the time[00:01:23]
We can't go on thinking[00:01:25]
It's a victimless crime[00:01:27]
No one is blameless[00:01:29]
But we're all without shame[00:01:32]
We fight the fire[00:01:37]
While we're[00:01:40]
Feeding the flames[00:01:41]
Folks have got to make choices[00:01:46]
And choices got to have voices[00:01:49]
Folks are basically decent[00:01:53]
Conventional wisdom would say[00:01:57]
Well we read about[00:02:02]
The exceptions[00:02:03]
In the papers every day[00:02:06]
It ought to be second nature[00:02:12]
At least that's what I feel[00:02:15]
Now I lay me down in Dreamland[00:02:19]
I know perfect's not for real[00:02:23]
I thought we might get closer[00:02:28]
But I'm ready to make a deal[00:02:32]
Today is different[00:02:37]
And tomorrow the same[00:02:39]
It's hard to take the world[00:02:41]
The way that it came[00:02:43]
Too many rapids[00:02:45]
Keep us sweeping along[00:02:47]
Too many captains[00:02:49]
Keep on steering us wrong[00:02:50]
It's hard to take the heat[00:02:53]
It's hard to lay blame[00:02:57]
To fight the fire[00:03:01]
While we're[00:03:04]
Feeding the flames[00:03:05]
It ought to be second nature[00:03:44]
At least that's what I feel[00:03:47]
Now I lay me down in Dreamland[00:03:51]
I know perfect's not for real[00:03:55]
I thought we might get closer[00:03:59]
