Have you ever seen an atom?

Little bits of everything floating by

Take a good look at them

Collectively they compose all you see including your eye Brilliant puzzle a living Rubik's Cube

We think we can figure out and solve

But we're just monkeys scratching our heads

Trying to open our ears

To a chord that just don't seem to resolve And we call it wisdom

Yes intellect in our truest sense of the word

You see for us security means a harmony

According to only what we have heard And this along and nothing less

Will ease our heart and our mind

In the hopes that in feeling free we'll reach paradise

On that hilltop we're still trying to find But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem

That paradise was once the world and it wasn't just a dream

The earth was our heaven and we didn't know There were rules for us to break

And maybe now we'll find out too late

What a clever hell we can make Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops In this corner weighing in at almost every weight imaginable

Life and all that surrounds it and in this corner

Weighing in at well, not really very much of anything

A very sound and user friendly idea On finally bringing that pesky mountain to Mohammed

Gentlemen at the sound of the harmonica solo

You may come out fighting Take a look at the horizon, quiet and still

You know there used to be Bison

Gentlemen you may fire at will

They say this land won't go to waste But you gotta wonder how

You know we're chopping down the air we breathe

As fodder for the cow That's right so we can eat well

Yes and starve to death

And say there's nothing we can do

Because we really don't want to do a goddamn thing Look I'm shrugging and so are you

Oh, we can imagine the straightest of lines

But our fingers can't control the pen

And it's this frustration that yields relief As we say we're just mortal men

And that means we get to torture a chimpanzee

And infect him with disease

Because he screams just like a human child

While we study his desperate pleas But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem

That paradise was once the world and it wasn't just a dream

The earth was our heaven and we didn't know There were rules for us to break

And maybe now we'll find out too late

What a clever hell we can make Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops While we're on the subject you know

My conscience hurts and it will not go away

So please concoct me some pill I can take

While I think of something clever to say So I can look in my mirror made of polished glass

And find no need to cringe

And forget that sinking feeling I'm a dinosaur

Out on his drunken last binge From fossil to fossil, dust to dust

I'll see you all in the earthy crust Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops
