And the point of my life is what
What if it doesn't add up
And the trouble was all for naught
Chalk it to the state of the world
Revelations are soon forgot
If only humankind was not so heartless now
Heartless now
It's hard to love your fellow man
However can I help myself
From harboring such evil
And the reason of pain is clear
Never learned the lesson of bliss
All the riches to squander here
If only humankind was not so selfish now
Selfish now
It's hard to love your fellow man
However can I help myself
From harboring such evil
Heartless now
Heartless now
Ooh oh oh
And the point of the stars is to shine
Shine a little light in our way
When the fear in my heart leaves me blind
Even in the light of the day
Come stumbling out
Ooh ooh ooh
If only humankind was not so heartless now
Heartless now
It's hard to love your fellow man
However can I help myself
From harboring such evil
Whenever we're so heartless now
Heartless now
Oh oh oh

B F# E E

And the point of my life is what

What if it doesn't add up

And the trouble was all for naught

Chalk it to the state of the world

Revelations are soon forgot

If only humankind was not so heartless now

Heartless now

It's hard to love your fellow man

However can I help myself

From harboring such evil

And the reason of pain is clear

Never learned the lesson of bliss

All the riches to squander here

If only humankind was not so selfish now

Selfish now

It's hard to love your fellow man

However can I help myself

From harboring such evil

Heartless now

Ooh oh oh

And the point of the stars is to shine

Shine a little light in our way

When the fear in my heart leaves me blind

Even in the light of the day

Come stumbling out

Ooh ooh ooh

If only humankind was not so heartless now

Heartless now

It's hard to love your fellow man

However can I help myself

From harboring such evil

Whenever we're so heartless now

Heartless now
