Easy to Be Hard
While watching the Tony´s last night, I remembered being in a mini-version of Hair for a music competition. This was many moons ago @ Oregon State University,the early 70's. We rather shook up the audience, like the tribe did in the Tony´s last night... so embracing the moment, as I foten do because of my Ipod, I bought the soundtrack.
My I-pod can be almost mystical. While driving around doing errands, it shuffled to this, which considering my exiled state from the Bahá´ís, rings so very true... its easy to be hard, when you are administrating...
Easy to Be Hard
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to help out
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
