Common Courtesy is Quite Uncommon
Common Courtesy is Quite Uncommon
 
 Unseen pressure lurks through these halls
 Unseen tears dwell among the tall
 Masks are worn and lines recited
 People darken what should be lighted
 
 Unseen scorn is hidden from the eye
 Social prejudice is easy to find
 Excluding and judging reside in this place
 But no one could tell from that fake smile on your face
 
 Why do we have to be the same?
 Have we gone a little crazy, or truly insane?
 I know that beneath all those layers of skin
 A heart is present and beats within
 
 God gave us passions and different desires
 Gave us each a spark so together might be a fire
 And who are we to tear down walls that we didn't build?
 Who are we to dig more holes we could never fill?
 
 So don't go off and seperate
 The things that you didn't create
 Common courtesy is quite uncommon
 But let's try to pick up where we have fallen
