Seed of a Seed

If we don't know better
If we don't know better
Well, did my parents know better?
No, but they tried

'Cause we all need
A sense of lore sometimes
Like I need a silent mind
In a consumer flood
And if I'm lucky
Maybe a glass of wine
And if I'm lucky
Maybe a hand next to mine

No, if we don't know better
No, will we try?

If I get lucky
Maybe a simple life
If I get lucky
Maybe some free time

No, if we don't know better
If we don't know better
Well, did my parents' parents know better, better?
No, but they tried
