I don't like the world quite the way that it is
So I keep talkin' about all the things you won't fix
I'm impatient, a rock in the mud
Truth is change isn't change 'til the changin' is done
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
All those questions have answers that no one can find
Always gatekeepin' gospels until the right time
So I sit in your silence, my senses all stoned
Is your truth really truth once the damage is done?
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
It's not the world I thought I knew at 17 or 22
I spilt my beer, I lost my purpose
Cleanin' up was never worth it
Part the seas and call a truce
It's hurtin' me, I'm hurtin' you
Lookin' down, you talk in cursive
You know me, I never learned it
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?
So I keep talkin' about all the things you won't fix
I'm impatient, a rock in the mud
Truth is change isn't change 'til the changin' is done
I don't wanna make you mad
I don't wanna make you mean
I don't wanna pull you down
I don't wanna cause a scene
I just wanna know right now
Is it all a big machine?
Are we in a crowded hell?
Is heaven all a brilliant scheme?

This sounds generic in pretty much all ways. Meandering vocals with the voice from Passenger, the dullest riff you forget as soon as the song is over, and then it just gets louder at the end in a feeble attempt to break the boredom up to that point. The lyrics are full of cliches, so it's not like he had something to say. Why did he make this song?
