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
    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've got to be
  stone cold dead not to see
  overwhelming incongruity
  It is pointless to search for teleology
    Mediocrity
  (always mediocrity)
