Opshop Paradox lyrics

I've bought more, but I enjoyed it lesser
We've tall buildings, but shorter tempers
We've split the atom, but not our differences
We've got faster foods, but slower digestion

We're tall, only humans, but short on character
I've learned not to rush, but I just can't wait
We're on a higher income, but in a lower moral bracket
And I'll take whatever I can take

[Chorus]
We all, we come and we go
For worse or for better
Yeah, we all, we come and we go
Why do we take more
The past can't go on forever

So plan more, do less
Write more that says less
Build nice houses for more broken homes
Don't save anything for a special occasion
'Cause every day you're alive, you're alive

[Chorus]
We all, we come and we go
For worse or for better

Yeah, we all, we come and we go
Why do we take more
The past can't go on forever

[Instrumental]

More knowledge, but less judgement
More experts, but more problems
More medicines, but less health
More degrees than common sense
And when it looks us in the eye, I fear
We've added years to life, but not life to years

[Chorus]
We all, we come and we go
For worse or for better
We all come and we go
Why do we take more
The past can't go on forever
Forever
Forever
