Tell me why you don't understand   that the world is in the palm of your hand   still it's slipping right through your fingers      Don't look away if you're afraid to say   don't shy away if you want to stay   and never ever listen to those singers      They are failin' to explain you   why the world should entertain you      'Cause they can't tell you   all the reasons   of what it's all about   when to you it's all the same      Whole lot of things going round your head   you want it to stop but sometimes instead   it gets even worse and you wanna fade away      Tell me why you don't understand   that the world is in the palm of your hand   it's just something that you'll have to see today      They are failin' to explain you   why the world should entertain you      'Cause they can't tell you   all the reasons   of what it's all about   when to you it's all the same
