we make life harder than it needs to be

We make life harder than it needs to be Cause we're told what we want is all that we need Flowers can grow in a sidewalk crack Falcons can live on a skyscraper cap You don't need new sneakers or the latest AI To make life complete or to be satisfied It's time to get real about what's really real It's time to say what we mean and mean what we say Not just repeat what's on the TV that day Talking heads sell commercials So they say what they must To make their profit They're not someone to trust Use your own ears and eyes To give you the clues About what's good and bad and the right thing to do We make life harder than it needs to be The things they say we want Are not what we need So make life simple Make it better for all Let's build better bridges And tear down the walls
