When?

When? - Bad Religion

I've seen a lot of things in 5 years

I struggle just to hold back the tears

But every f**kin' where I go

I see the pathos that I know

Will spell the termination of us all

Someone's got to tell me do you see

That everything around you has a hidden tragedy

Seeds of happiness have never found a place to grow

And our generation doesn't know

When when will you try

To change the logarithmic face of kissing things goodbye

When when will you know

That human life is so short

Death is oh so slow

I've tried to make things make sense but I can't

I'm happy just to watch them all and laugh

And if you think you've got it made

Just revel in your selfish ways

'Cuz when the world stops turning so will you

So what
