Responsibility by Ben Weasel Lyrics

Social responsibility
Isn't the world's problems on me
Isn't a good deed, doesn't create a saint
But if I want the world to be
A little bit better than I see
Then bitter complaining won't change a thing

And we all wanna make some kind of a difference
But we don't know what we oughta do
What should we do?

Well, I don't think that I possess
All of the answers to this mess
But when I'm in doubt, I can try to simplify
When I see poverty and greed
Well, I can justify just about anything
Or I can start looking, looking honestly

And I know I can be all the things that I hate
Or I can choose to be the things I love
I can try to love
I can try to see myself in some other place
And know I'm lucky
When I see a man on the street
I can see a bum, or I can see a human soul
Yeah, a man who's lonely
In confusion, just like me

We all work
We all ache
For something better
And we all want love

I believe we can sacrifice
Knowing there but for the grace of God go I
And I believe gods walk the Earth
Imperfect and confused
These are my gods
All men and women
Brothers and sisters
Walk the Earth as gods
