Mediocrity

[00:17.20] I've spent my life observing
[00:18.74] And then pondering this place
[00:20.67] And never has confusion ever ceased
[00:23.96] I've also heard a lot of exaltation for our kind
[00:27.15] And sanctimonious reverence for peace
[00:30.53] The stories from our childhood
[00:32.25] Condition us to think
[00:33.84] That beauty is a basic human trait
[00:37.00] But how are they reconciled with daily realities
[00:40.66] Like poverty and dominance and rape
[00:43.57] But you have to be
[00:47.21] Stone cold dead not to see
[00:50.68] Overwhelming incongruity
[00:53.55] As we search for suggestions to remedy
[00:57.21] Mediocrity
[01:00.63] Mediocrity
[01:03.91] Mediocrity
[01:08.22]
[01:15.48] If you just sit back and record what you see
[01:22.29] The tragic and exquisite are the same to some degree
[01:28.79] But most events depict a common theme
[01:35.49] There's far more disorder
[01:38.52] Than there is harmony
[01:44.90]
[02:01.83] I said you've got to be
[02:05.58] Stone cold dead not to see
[02:08.66] Overwhelming incongruity
[02:11.64] It is pointless to search for teleology
[02:15.30] Mediocrity
[02:18.89] Mediocrity
[02:21.93] Mediocrity
[02:27.08] Mediocrity (always mediocrity)
[02:30.46] Mediocrity (always mediocrity)
[02:33.62] Mediocrity (always mediocrity)
