lyrics

Rock star on the radio says that
whenever he closes his eyes
he sees the face of the woman he loves.
Funny, whenever I close my eyes
I see giant purple blotches floating in a field of black.
What's wrong with me?
Or is it me?
Am I the one with the problem here?
Am I the one with the difference here?
Or does he lie to himself?

Politician on the television says that
when he looks at his country
he sees the most generous people in the world.
Funny, when I look at my country,
I see poverty and greed and the people who ignore them.
I see hatred and prejudice
and the people who support them.
I see salvation turn away.
I see our leaders turning grey.
I see the vision lost, and losing hope, I pray.

Dear God, is this how it should be?
Are they all wrong, or is it me?
Dear God, I feel these thoughts again, dear God.

Young woman on the picket line says that
when she looks around her
she sees the world falling apart.
She sees the damage that we've done
and the few who are trying to fix it.
And she has hope.

I look at her and wonder at my own stupidity.
I called them blind to hatred, but my hatred blinded me.
I have hope.

about

whatever... Cleveland, Ohio

whatever... was a Cleveland band in the 1990s. We opened for lots of great acts (e.g., Jawbox, Bosstones, Samiam) and even had a following of our own. Really, if you went to a Cleveland punk show in the mid-'90s, chances are pretty good you saw us. This is the stuff we were playing early on.

You can also hit either of the below links to buy the band's final album, Youngsters, on Amazon or iTunes. ... more
