Generic Times

GENERIC TIMES - Written by Carroll Bryant

I have written words

For peace and knowledge must be heard

I have witnessed dreams

In a far away place where visions can be seen

They can be so real though I try to touch it

But my body can't feel

And they can be so good though I know

And I know they should 

And they could

But we're living in generic times

Thinking with generic minds

Giving out generic love from a heart and soul

That costs too much

I have spoken to the sun

For communication with friends can sometimes be fun

I have cried the tears

In a far away place where humans can't hear

Things can get so real though I try to climb

But the mountain isn't a hill

And things could be so good though I know

And I know they should

And they would

But we're living in generic times

Thinking with generic minds

Giving out generic love from a heart and soul

That costs too much

And what do we feel?

What do we know?

We beg, steal and borrow just to be part of the show

Why the confusion amid mass illusion?

A planet that's dreaming, and always scheming itself to sleep

Searching for secrets they know they can't keep

Always coping, hoping that things will get better

Take a look around

Things would be better with our feet on the ground

But our heads are so high as we reach for the sky

And we can't say why there's no answer

But we know

Oh yes, we know

Deep inside we know 

That these are the most generic of times

We keep living in generic times

Thinking with generic minds

Technology that blinds and we know

These are generic times

Thinking with generic minds

Giving out love from a heart and soul

That costs too much

And it's true

You know that we do

You can't lie about it, but I know you will try

You can't hide from it, but I know you will cry

You will deny it and still realize that these are the generic of times

And we're thinking with generic minds

With technology that blinds

Giving out generic love
