(Verse 1) There's a place across the ocean, where the people always speak, They'll tell you how to live your life, every day of the week, With voices loud and fingers pointing, they lecture and they preach, But the problems in their own backyard are just beyond their reach. (Chorus) In this land of contradictions, where wisdom's set aside, The weight of their own troubles is something they can't hide, They'll tell you how to live, oh, they've got so much to say, But it's easier to preach than change their own way. (Verse 2) Addiction's running rampant, and the scales are tipping high, The diet's poor, the health is weak, the land begins to cry, Environmental degradation, the air and water foul, Yet they ridicule the learned, listen to the empty howl.
(Chorus) In this land of contradictions, where wisdom's set aside, The weight of their own troubles is something they can't hide, They'll tell you how to live, oh, they've got so much to say, But it's easier to preach than change their own way. (Bridge) Educated voices silenced, experts tossed away, Celebrities and vloggers, they lead the minds astray, It's a twisted kind of wisdom, a mirror to our times, Pointing out the world's mistakes, ignoring their own crimes.
(Chorus) In this land of contradictions, where wisdom's set aside, The weight of their own troubles is something they can't hide, They'll tell you how to live, oh, they've got so much to say, But it's easier to preach than change their own way.
(Outro) So listen to their lessons, but take them with a grain, For the ones who speak the loudest, might be dealing with their pain, In a land where lectures flourish, and problems are arrayed, It's easier to tell the world than to face the mess they've made.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
