We spend more, but have less. We buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We?ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We?ve added years to life, not life to years. We?ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We?ve conquered outer space, but not inner space. We?ve done larger things, but not better things. We?ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We?ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We?ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We plan more, but accomplish less. We write more, but learn less. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Balance, Be My Beach, Better By The Pound, Biological Speculation, Can You Get To That, Cant Stand The Strain, Cholly Funk Gettin Ready To Roll, Comin Round The Mountain, Cosmic Slop, Electric Spanking Of War Babies, Electro Cuties, Electro-Cuties, Eulogy And Light, Everybody Is Going To Make It This Time, Foot Soldiers Star Spangled Funky, Freak Of The Week, Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow, Friday Night August 14th, Funk Gets Stronger Killer Millimeter Longer Versi, Funk Gets Stronger Part 1, Funky Dollar Bill, Good Old Music, Good Thoughts Bad Thoughts, Good To Your Earhole, Groovallegiance, Hit It And Quit It, Holly Wants To Go To California, How Do Yeaw View You, I Bet You, I Got A Thing, You Got A Thing, Everybodys Got A, I Wanna Know If Its Good To You, Ill Stay, Im Never Gonna Tell It, Icka Prick, If You Dont Like The Effects Dont Produce The C, If You Got Funk You Got Style, Into You, Jimmys Got A Little Bit Of Bitch In Him, Lets Make It Last, Lets Take It To The People, Lets Take It To The Stage, Loose Booty, Maggot Brain, March To The Witchs Castle, Miss Lucifers Love, Mommy Whats A Funkadelic, Music For My Mother, Nappy Dugout, No Compute, No Head No Backstage Pass, Other George Carlin song Lyrics Advertising Lullaby Lyrics Darth Vader Uses Ebonics Lyrics Hair Poem Lyrics The Seven Words You Can Never Say On Tv Lyrics Other Artists George Clinton Lyrics George Clinton And The Funkadelics Lyrics George Cobb Lyrics George Ducas Lyrics George Duke Lyrics George F/ Krus-D & Carlos F Lyrics George Formby Lyrics George Fox Lyrics Gershwin George Lyrics George Gershwin Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
