Nothing can survive in a vacuum
No one can exist all alone
We pretend things only happen to strangers
We've all got problems of our own It's enough to learn to share our pleasures
We can't soothe pain with sympathy
All that we can do is be reminded
We shake our heads at the tragedy Every day we're standing in a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past
Every day we're standing in a wind tunnel
Facing down the future coming fast It's just the age
It's just a stage
We disengage
We turn the page Looking at the long range forecast
Catching all the names in the news
Checking out the state of the nation
Learning the environmental blues Truth is after all a moving target
Hairs to split and pieces that don't fit
How can anybody be enlightened?
Truth is after all so poorly lit Every day we're standing in a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past It's just the age
It's just a stage
We disengage
We turn the page
We turn the It's just the age
It's just a stage
We disengage
We turn the page Every day we're standing in a time capsule
We disengage
We turn the page
Racing down a river from the past
It doesn't matter if you're in a wind tunnel
It's just the age We disengage
We turn the page
Racing down a region from the past
It's just we're standing in a wind tunnel
It's just the age
We disengage
We turn the page
Racing down a river from the past
Every day we're standing in a time capsule
We disengage
