Necessity is the Mother Lyrics

There's a town somewhere

Where it's always night and day

Have you seen it?

Have you seen it?

It's a long way up there

But you know it's worth the climb

Can you make it?

Can you make it?

The town on the hilltop

Where they just see what is right

About each other

Never looking for a fight

They say necessity is the mother

That makes us change, and twist our minds

Mother we could use that change

By now

Now that you've become aware

You must ask yourself one thing

Do you want it?

Do you want it?

The town on a hilltop

Can't conceal it's shining light

The world grows darker

When you close your eyes to what's burning bright

They say necessity is the mother

That makes us change, and twist our minds

Mother we could use that change

By now

I can't remember

What smart people sound like

I can't remember

How loving people feel

We used to be

Oh, so sophisticated

It makes me wonder

Is this the last of civility?

They say necessity is the mother

That makes us change, and twist our minds

Mother we could use that change

Mother we could use that change

Mother we could use that change

By now
