PRIMITIVE MIND

What a world we made, so hard and so confusing
I just want to hide myself away
Seems like we have to trade
What we want for what we're using
The choices get heavier every day

So unkind, it's the primitive mind
The mind that gets our bodies through the day
Sad but real, all the things we don't feel
Emotions we don't let get in our way

Into the business world
You throw your hardest hard line
They're not givin' those deals away
Every eye is cold
Every word's a landmine
If you don't play rough you don't play

So unkind, it's the primitive mind
The mind that gets our bodies through the day
Sad but real, all the things we don't feel
Emotions we don't let get in our way

I've got my TV on, but I just watch the faces
I don't wanna hear one thing they say
I cut the volume down
Smoke flies over foreign places
While I decide which clothes I'll wear today

So unkind, it's the primitive mind
The mind that gets our bodies through the day
Sad but real, all the things we don't feel
Emotions we don't let get in our way
