Is That What It’s All About?

[Verse 1]
Could somebody give me an answer
A solution to fill up my space
As I take a peep out of the hole in my window
I see a land that is filled with disgrace

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now is it me, or did it used to seem better?
Now a tear grows in every man's eye
But the tear never once reached the surface
And the tree which I climbed slowly dies

[Chorus]
Is that what it's all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what it's all about?

[Verse 2]
A cure ain't been found for my problem just yet
Behind the wrought iron gate, it is there, I bet
But the key was a caught in a fisherman's net
With a dolphin the boy wanted for his pet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well I know I ain't getting no younger
Pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct
And all that I'll leave to remember
Is this question I paused once to think

[Chorus]
Is that what it's all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what it's all about?

[Bridge]
Put it behind you
Turn a blind eye
Though you always know that it's there
Living your life through the line of defence
I stand for myself
Is that what it's all about?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well I know I ain't getting no younger
Pretty soon I guess I'll be extinct
And all that I'll leave to remember
Is this question I paused once to think

[Chorus]
Is that what it's all about
Hiding our feelings away
Let the problem be that of another man
I'm living my life in this way
Far away from a troubled face
Is that what it's all about?
Is that what it's all about?
