Yesterday I realized just how I've changed
Okay, wait a minute. let me explain
I was walking down the street when I heard a loud crash
A man lay on the road, flatter than flat
Was he dead or alive? I didn't care to know
So I kept walking
And no emotion did I show
And I think it's time to straighten out the shelves of my mind (x3)
And I think it's time to straighten out my mind
Then I got to thinking about how numb I've become
Am I really that unfeeling? Am I really that dumb?
To not help another when they're in desperate need of it
How selfish can I be? How much worse can I get?
But then, these are times in which we're not
Supposed to care
Think only of yourself
And ignore what's happening over there
And I think it's time to straighten out the shelves of my mind (x3)
And I think it's time to straighten out my mind
Well, I'm thinking it's time to straighten out my mind
I think it's time (x4)
I think it's time to straighten out my mind
And I think i said...
Somebody tell me why
And I know I need it
Somebody put me in line
'Cause I think it's time to
Straighten out my mind
