Dialogue (Pt. I) [2002 Remaster]

Are you optimistic

'Bout the way things are going

No I nver ever think of it at all

Don't you ever worry

When you see what's going down

No I try to mind my business

That is no business at all

When it's time to function

As a feeling human being will your

Bachelor of Arts help you get by

I hope to study further

A few more years or so I also hope

To keep a steady high

Will you try to change

Things use the power that you have

The power of a million new ideas

What is this power you

Speak of and this need for things to

Change I always thought

That everything was fine

Everything was fine

Don't you feel repression just

Closing in around

No the campus here is very very free

Does it make you angry

The way war is dragging on

Well I hope the President

Knows what he's into I don't know

Oh just I don't know

Don't you ever see the starvation

In the city where you live all the

Needless hunger all the

Needless pain

I haven't been there lately

The country is so fine but my

Neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause

They haven't got the time

Haven't got the time

Thank you for the talk

You know you really eased my mind

I was troubled by the shapes

Of things to come

Well if you had my

Outlook your feelings would be

Numb you'd always think

That everything was fine everything was fine
