Planned Obsolescence
[ music: Dennis Drew/lyric: Natalie Merchant ]
science
is truth for life
watch religion fall obsolete
science
will be truth for life
technology as nature
science
truth for life
in fortran tongue the
answer
with wealth and prominence
man so near perfection
possession
it's an absence of interim
secure no demurrer
defense against divine
defense against his true
image
human conflict number five
discovery
dissolved all illusion
mystery
destroyed with conclusion
and illusion never restored
any modern man can see
that religion is
obsolete
piety
obsolete
ritual
obsolete
martyrdom
obsolete
prophetic vision
obsolete
mysticism
obsolete
commitment
obsolete
sacrament
obsolete
revelation
obsolete

Sometimes we fly away too soon
Sometimes we live our lives
A little out of tune
Sometimes in fear we don't look back
We find it so hard to forgive someone
For being bad
(Chorus)
Everything's OK
I'm staring at a better day
If I forgive today,
Will this pain go away?
Sometimes we tire from the
Anger down inside
Sometimes the fire gets a little too
Hard to hide
When you're speaking to me,
I'll believe it's true
And if you're lying...
Well, there's really nothing I can do
Chorus
Everything's alright
Sometimes we live our lives
A little out of tune
Sometimes in fear we don't look back
We find it so hard to forgive someone
For being bad
(Chorus)
Everything's OK
I'm staring at a better day
If I forgive today,
Will this pain go away?
Sometimes we tire from the
Anger down inside
Sometimes the fire gets a little too
Hard to hide
When you're speaking to me,
I'll believe it's true
And if you're lying...
Well, there's really nothing I can do
Chorus
Everything's alright
