Living Life Upside Down

John has a new way of looking at life
He's tired of his job, of his kids and his wife
Says a secret to his success
Was in leaving and finding himself
Now he's someone to somebody else
You say we've reason to a new age of truth
And you're calling it spiritual of godly pursuit
But I say, I say

What if we've fallen into the bottom of the well Thinking we've risen
To the top of a mountain What if we're knocking at
The gates of hell Thinking that we are heaven bound
And what if we spend our lives thinking of ourselves
When we've should have been thinking of each other
What if we reach up and touch the ground
To find we're living life upside down

We've got a program for saving the earth
While unborn children are denied the right to birth
One baby is blessed, another cursed
Have we made this world better or worse
Now the life of a tree comes first?
You've said we've reason to a new age of light
You're telling me what used to be wrong is now right
But I say, I say

What if we've fallen into the bottom of the well Thinking we've risen
Into the top of a mountain What if we're knocking
At the gates of hell Thinking that we are heaven bound
And what if we spend our lives thinking of ourselves
When we should have been thinking of each other
What if we reach up and touch the ground
To find we're living life, upside down
Upside down

To find we're living life, upside down.

What if we've fallen into the bottom of the well Thinking we've risen
Into the top of a mountain What if we're knocking
At the gates of hell Thinking that we are heaven bound
And what if we spend our lives thinking of ourselves
When we should have been thinking of each other
What if we reach up and touch the ground
To find we're living life, upside down
