Would it be so hard for you

To state just for the record

That you've done your best to do nothing at all

And that you stood around

And watched from every corner

As everyone around you hit the ground

Would it tear you up inside

To take on the reflection

Of everyone around you that you know

Instead of getting by

With lying and deception

Of everyone around you letting go



All of this time

It's been benign



Only heaven knows

Only heaven shows the way

Back to everything you know and love

Only heaven knows

Only heaven shows the way

Back to everything you know and love

Everything you know and love

Everything you know and love

Back to everything you know and

All of this time

It's been benign



Would it be so hard for you

To state just for the moment

That you've done your best to do nothing at all

And that you stood around

And wallowed in your splendor

While everyone around you hit the ground



All of this time

It's been benign



Only heaven knows

Only heaven shows the way

Back to everything you know and love

Only heaven knows

Only heaven shows the way

Back to everything you know and love

Everything you know and love

Everything you know and love

Back to everything you know and

Everything you know and love

Everything you know and love

And love

And love

And love

Back to everything you know and love

And love

And love

And love

Back to everything you know and

All of this time

It's been benign
