lyrics

The sun blinds me in the morning, I forgot to pull the shade
But I try to smile and rise to greet the day
Too many possibilities, it could go high or low
With almost all my faith in disarray
Disarray, disarray, almost all my faith in disarray

And it isn’t opportunity if you don’t have a choice
Free will’s not a gift tied up with string
And if everything can happen, chances are that nothing will
So to beat the odds, I’ll try most anything
Anything, anything, to beat the odds I’ll try most anything

So I must be in the running for a Darwin prize
And tomorrow I’ll be dumber than today’
What’s the world to say about that Darwin prize: Yay

Does cause lead to effect, or the other way around
What we learned in school is probably wrong
It’s taken half our lives to try and figure these things out
And all we know is right here in this song
In this song, in this song, all we know is right here in this song
