Blues Traveler - Whoops lyrics
Music & lyrics: john popper 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 rubix 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 won'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 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 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 chimpanze 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 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 |
