What Ever Happened to Mary?

Did you see what they did to Mary
All she did was speak her mind
Doesn't that make you angry
Or was that another time
Or was that another time

I remember you from high school
Never doing what was told
And college never hit you
You moved right on to growing old

And I see you've finally made it
But all those things you wanted tie you down
And now your kids are asking
Is what you looked for what you found
Is what you looked for what you found

So we'll teach them how to live
How to reach beyond those things we always feared
Asking all the questions
That you and I never did

We just wear out all our records
It's easier this way
They say never do tomorrow
What you can talk about today
What you can just talk about today

And did you see what they did to Mary
They tell me know it's a crime to speak your peace
Maybe we've missed something
Or maybe we've been asleep
Maybe we've been asleep
Maybe we've been asleep
