Would protesters still gush to city centers If the universe would honk B flat and halt Would cop cars still be rushing to their crime seems Would farmers drop their seeds and drop their salts And then there's me, the temporary custodian Of these particles and free-floating radicals That convene for eighty years or so, that's if I'm lucky tho Never been very lucky though What an extraordinary thing it is to be this ordinary thing A phenomenal nominal common all alpha-null nothing This is what it's like... we will not be saved We went looking for the sublime We find only the inane And this is what we are... and we will not be changed You can look for unseen order You're gonna find that chaos reigns We will not be saved So if my carca** finds itself a mishap But I avoid the room with center drains The doctor will remove my dressings and casts To a room that falls sin silent, mouths aghast They've seen nothing, but the product of a billion years
Of evolution's deliverance... you'd think I'd act like it May I feed the flora fauna once when all my feedings done This zoo of bacterium What an extraordinary thing it is to be this ordinary thing This is what it's like... we will not be saved We went looking for the sublime We find only the inane And this is what we are... and we will not be changed You can look for unseen order You're gonna find that chaos reigns We will not be saved Just let go Just let go We will not be saved Just let go Just let go We will not be saved Just let go Just let go If a tree falls in the woods, it doesn't matter Just let go Just let go What's the sound of one hand clapping? It doesn't matter Just let go Just let go Is it the chicken or the egg? It doesn't matter Just let go Just let go What do you do when you do nothing? It doesn't matter It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
