Peace of Mind

I'm ahead of my time
and behind the times at the same time.
Oh, time doesn't give a damn about me.
In these times
we don't all have to walk the same line
except when looking each other in the eye.

Nobody wants to wake up angry.
Nobody wants to go bed insane.
Nobody really wants you to suffer.
Nobody wants anybody to be in pain.

For whatever you truly want for another
you may have yourself some day.

You crossed my path
talking vengeance, lies, and bad math.
Time will tell on you.
And your greedy friends
telling the same lies again and again-
Time will have its way with all of you.

Nobody wants to wake up angry.
Nobody wants to go bed insane.
Nobody really wants you to suffer.
Nobody wants anybody to be in pain.

For whatever you truly want for another
you may have yourself some day.

I want to say this any time.
Not just today, not just tonight.
Not yesterday, not just tomorrow:
I want you to have the same peace of mind
that I wish for myself.

Nobody wants to wake up angry.
Nobody wants to go bed insane.
Nobody really wants you to suffer.
Nobody wants anybody to be in pain.

For whatever you truly want for another
you may have yourself some day.

I want you to have the same peace of mind that I wish for myself
