Mediocrity

One, two, three, go

I've spent my life observing and then pondering this place
And never has confusion ever ceased
I've also heard a lot of exaltation for our kind
And sanctimonious reverence for peace

The stories from our childhood condition us to think
That beauty is a basic human trait
But how are they reconciled with daily realities
Like poverty and dominance and rape

But you have to be stone cold dead
Not to see overwhelming incongruity
As we search for suggestions to remedy
Mediocrity
Mediocrity
Mediocrity

If you just sit back and record what you see
The tragic and exquisite are the same to some degree
But most events depict a common theme:
There's far more disorder than there is harmony

I said, you have to be stone cold dead
Not to see overwhelming incongruity
It is pointless to search for teleology

Mediocrity (always mediocrity, always mediocrity)
Mediocrity (always mediocrity, always mediocrity)
Mediocrity (always mediocrity, always mediocrity)
One, two
Argh!!!
