BOB SEGER - Between lyrics

rate me

You're old enough to know better as soon as you can see

This world is out to get you the way it's gotten me

It starts out in the morning then moves to afternoon

By the time you reach the evenin' you're barkin' at the moon

Between what you're told and what you've seen

You'll know that it's just another show

Everybody sells somethin'everybody's got game

We all keep believin' no one is to blame

The world keeps getting hotter, ice falls in the sea

We buy a bigger engine and say it isn't me

Between what we say and what we mean

It's clean far away from that machine

We talk on the phone because we're alone

And everyone knows it

We feel overdue, we want something new

And everyone knows it

It's time to join with the living, time to understand

We're all in this together, we've got to have a plan

We're facing an extinction every other day

There's got to be an answer, we've got to find a way

Between what is dead and what is green

We learn what to keep and what to burn

Between what is fair and what's obscene

It's clean far way from that machine
