Necessity is the Mother

There's a town somewhere Where it's always night and day Have you seen it? Have you seen it? It's a long way up there But you know it's worth the climb Can you make it? Can you make it? The town on the hilltop Where they just see what is right About each other Never looking for a fight They say necessity is the mother That makes us change, and twist our minds Mother we could use that change By now Now that you've become aware You must ask yourself one thing Do you want it? Do you want it? The town on a hilltop Can't conceal it's shining light The world grows darker When you close your eyes to what's burning bright They say necessity is the mother That makes us change, and twist our minds Mother we could use that change By now I can't remember What smart people sound like I can't remember How loving people feel We used to be Oh, so sophisticated It makes me wonder Is this the last of civility? They say necessity is the mother That makes us change, and twist our minds Mother we could use that change Mother we could use that change Mother we could use that change By now
