There was a ghost strung up and all my closets thin
Changing the way I look but never the mood I'm in
Staring down eyes, clenching this fist, wearing these hurts in
Fighting an old war now we never can win again

Why oh why don't people get along'
Jumpin' out their office window
Just before the fire was gone
I oh I got anger in my blood
Set the clock to start it over
Would you be happy if you could'

When you're the softest heart you're gonna get broken in
Every wall you build up's gonna cave back in
Staring down eyes, clenching this fist, wearing these hurts in
You're fighting an old war now you never can win again

Why oh why don't people get along'
Jumpin' out their office window
Just before the fire was gone
And I oh I got anger in my blood
Set the clock to start it over
Would I be happy if I could'

Set the clock to start it over
Would you be happy'
Would you be happy if you could'
