Akkam’s Razor

Bad Religion's "Dreams of Unity" from the live album "Tested" (Amazon), from 1997, which I didn't know existed until 5-minutes ago…

No matter how hard you try, no matter how sincere your intentions, sometimes you just have to admit that you may not be able to change people, and you may not be able to make things better… 

Lyrics via Songmeanings.net:

I had a dream of unity
where we would walk side by side
but today I see that it's only me
just tryin' to get by
sometimes we strive undeterred
to walk as one toward our goals
but as people stray toward more selfish ways
we see we have no control
I had a dream of unity
where we would walk side by side
but today I see that it's only me
just tryin' to get by
just tryin' to get by
