If you're a carpenter,
You can fix it with a hammer and nail
If you're a captain,
You can get there with a crew and a sail
If you're the warden,
You can lock it up inside of a jail
Everybody got a solution
Nobody possibly wrong
I'd love to jump to a conclusion
But the distance is too damn long
If you're an analyst,
You can lay it down on your couch
If you're an activist,
You need only march and shout
If you're an anarchist,
Go on and burn the city down
Everybody got a solution...
Biased perspectives --
Hidden objectives --
Static images in a prime lens
Our various stances
Across the same plane
Decide how each ray of light bends
If you're a scientist,
You can theorize and postulate;
If a Creationist,
We been kicked outta the garden by fate
A sado-masochist?
Should be no problem keeping a date
I'm no romanticist --
I'm too old to stay up this late
Everybody see the solution
Nobody possibly wrong
I'd love to jump to a conclusion
But the distance is too damn long
