Cosmic Bull - Unless You Know People (Von Mertens)

It's the call that can't wait
All the talk that's not straight
Are we better now? Hard to see
Let me ask you - if you had some time
And I let you know my mind
Would you hear me out
Or refuse to understand me?

Of all the lessons I've learned
All the times I got burned
Did I always have someone I could run to?
Maybe it's all just beyond me
I'm not blind but can't see
Where's the kumbaya and daisy chains
On your mind but off your hands

They'll never sing your song
Unless you know people
And the world will never call your name
You'll never right their wrongs
Unless you know people
When they're evil

False elegance or fake ignorance
Or those just trying to be true
Which one am I? Which one are

You dear? It's clear
I'm here, you're here
Let's see - how we - agree
The point is - my dear
It's time to make clear
How we get along - if we don't
Minds will never change

Maybe that's what we're supposed to do
Figure out the me and you
It's been long enough shrouded up in mystery
And whatever principles are key
What they say about you and me
Will they loosen up what's tightly wound?
Stand as one or "stand your ground"?

They'll never sing your song
Unless you know people
And the world will never call your name
You'll never right their wrongs
Unless you know people
And they'll tell you that they're not to blame
As time is come and gone
Don't wait too long without people
It's a long and lonely road to lead
Their minds are changing now
Aren't you glad you know people?
Ain't we evil?

It's clear: I'm here, you're here
Let's see - how we - agree
The point is, my dear
It's clear: I'm here, you're here
Let's see - how we - agree
