lyrics

A lot has happened since '85
For all the years you tried
I think attitudes are changing
But the world still churns at a feverish pace
You might feel out of place
But I think we all have that in common

Dian, the world's still getting smaller now
And yes, Dian, you might find it appalling how
we are living past our threshold
With the ignorant growing bolder
We're taking up more of the land
We're a chip off the old shoulder
And things are getting out of hand
We're staying dumb as we get older,
I know you'd wanna take a stand
But how much would it be good for, Dian?

You can seek the good in the little known
You can change your home
Minimize and maximize your impact
You wouldn't sacrifice the limited time that's left
Trying to weigh your heft, 'cause you know
Digits cannot measure that.

Families poached and you're called the deserter
Still every night they make a brand new bed
Hunker down and try to rest your head
"Well, it's hard not to call it murder" -
That's what Grandpa Dave said, Dian.
