[00:00:01] Second Nature - Rush

[00:00:21] Written by：Geddy Lee/Alex Lifeson/Neil Peart

[00:00:22] A memo to a higher office

[00:00:26] Open letter to the powers that be

[00:00:30] To a god a king a head of state

[00:00:34] A captain of industry

[00:00:38] To the movers and the shakers

[00:00:42] Can't everybody see

[00:00:48] It ought to be second nature

[00:00:51] I mean the places where we live

[00:00:56] Let's talk about this sensibly

[00:00:59] We're not insensitive

[00:01:03] I know progress has no patience

[00:01:08] But something's got to give

[00:01:13] I know you're different

[00:01:15] You know I'm the same

[00:01:17] We're both too busy

[00:01:18] To be taking the blame

[00:01:21] I'd like some changes

[00:01:23] But you don't have the time

[00:01:25] We can't go on thinking

[00:01:27] It's a victimless crime

[00:01:29] No one is blameless

[00:01:32] But we're all without shame

[00:01:37] We fight the fire

[00:01:40] While we're

[00:01:41] Feeding the flames

[00:01:46] Folks have got to make choices

[00:01:49] And choices got to have voices

[00:01:53] Folks are basically decent

[00:01:57] Conventional wisdom would say

[00:02:02] Well we read about

[00:02:03] The exceptions

[00:02:06] In the papers every day

[00:02:12] It ought to be second nature

[00:02:15] At least that's what I feel

[00:02:19] Now I lay me down in Dreamland

[00:02:23] I know perfect's not for real

[00:02:28] I thought we might get closer

[00:02:32] But I'm ready to make a deal

[00:02:37] Today is different

[00:02:39] And tomorrow the same

[00:02:41] It's hard to take the world

[00:02:43] The way that it came

[00:02:45] Too many rapids

[00:02:47] Keep us sweeping along

[00:02:49] Too many captains

[00:02:50] Keep on steering us wrong

[00:02:53] It's hard to take the heat

[00:02:57] It's hard to lay blame

[00:03:01] To fight the fire

[00:03:04] While we're

[00:03:05] Feeding the flames

[00:03:44] It ought to be second nature

[00:03:47] At least that's what I feel

[00:03:51] Now I lay me down in Dreamland

[00:03:55] I know perfect's not for real

[00:03:59] I thought we might get closer
