society's feeling many manifestations
of people disregarding the ramifications
of their actions i feel like asking this fraction
of population just out of abstraction

"hey there anybody home?
or am i just knocking on some empty dome?"
we know what's right but we do what's wrong
and we wonder all night why we're so far gone

for example nurses who be keeping lung tumors away
are the same people smoking three packs a day
they've seen smokers' lungs become all shrivelled and grey
yet to the marlboro man they still pray and pay

there's potatoes of the couch who never ever exercise
'cept for staring at the boob tube to flex their eyes
taking pills to diminish in size
and chasin 'em down with a whopper and super-sized fries

yo man i don't get it
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe we're all falling down
(i don't get it)
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe i believe yeah

on springer, another guy tells his wife whoever else he's screwed
her sister, mother, brother, and her best friend too
little does he know, he doesn't have a clue
he'll meet the father of the baby that's almost due

an aging tycoon cruising around in his jaguar
armed with his supermodel wife and his viagra
he can't wait until the next time he shags her
she can't wait until he's eaten up by cancer

yo dude i just don't get it
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe we're all falling down
(i don't get it)
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe i believe yeah

by now perhaps you're thinking this is all kinda boring
be patient 'cause i'm getting to the moral of the story

there's kids who are bringing dad's guns to school
and kids who still think unprotected sex is cool

i'd go on and on but what i'm trying to say
is that everything's connected in a global way

a little prevention for our future's sake
will save us many worries and many a headache

so if you don't use your brain, then please don't complain
why nothing ever changes and it all stays the same

peace out
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe we're all falling down
(i don't get it)
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe i believe yeah
(i'll never get it)
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe we're all falling down
(i don't get it)
it's too late to turn back now
i believe i believe i believe i believe yeah
