State We're In Lyrics

(Whoa, Nelly!)

Another day, another dollar

Another stupid excuse to continue the same old thing

If everyone is so different

Why do we all want the same things?

Love and peace, tenderness and joy

Girls will be girls, and boys they will be boys

Was never a good cover for all of our flaws

As bad as you may want it, you're still wrong

And the state we're in

Is begging for deliverance from the sins

That we have found ourselves caught up in

Though they never satisfy

And the state we're in

Is longing for the comfort of our kin

And waiting for our lives to begin

When we already had it all

All this time

Beg, borrow, and steal to get yours

Cancel the other guy, keeping up with the Jones is a chore

And I was never really one to try to conform

So go ahead, try to outdo me

I could care less for your tact without empathy

Forget your condescension, I'll stand on my own

As much as you complain, you're still holding on

And the state we're in

Is begging for deliverance from the sins

That we have found ourselves caught up in

Though they never satisfy

And the state we're in

Is longing for the comfort of our kin

And waiting for our lives to begin

When we already had it all

All this time

You wish the most and try the least

And blame others when you don't succeed

You wish the most and try the least

Better get it together if you wanna be free

And the state we're in

Is begging for deliverance from the sins

That we have found ourselves caught up in

Though they never satisfy

'Cause the state we're in

Is longing for the comfort of our kin

And waiting for our lives to begin

When we already had it all

All this time

All this time

(That was... loud)
