Whoops — текст песни (blues traveler)





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 were just monkeys

Scratching our heads trying to open our ears

To a chord that just wont 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 well reach paradise

On that hilltop were still trying to find



But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem

That paradise was once the world and it wasnt just a dream

The earth was our heaven and we didnt know there were rules for us to break

And maybe now well 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 wont go to waste

But you gotta wonder how

You know were chopping down the air we breathe

As fodder for the cow



Thats right so we can eat well

Yes and starve to death

And say theres nothing we can do

Because we really dont want to do a goddamn thing

Look Im shrugging and so are you

We can imagine the straightest of lines

But our fingers cant control the pen

And its this frustration that yields relief

As we say were 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 wasnt just a dream

The earth was our heaven and we didnt know there were rules for us to break

And maybe now well find out too late what a clever hell we can make



Whoops

Whoops



While were 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 Im a dinosaur

Out on his drunken last binge



...from fossil to fossil

Dust to dust

Ill see you all in the earthy crust



Whoops

Whoops
