[Verse 1] Two kids in a garage on a fool's afternoon Soldering their futures by the light of April's moon The world said "be serious, be something real" They were building revolutions from a circuit and a wheel [Pre-Chorus] Nobody believes the fool until the fool is right Nobody remembers laughing once he's changed the light [Chorus] Started as a joke on a fool's day Started with a dream that wouldn't fade away They laughed at the beginning But the punchline's running still The fools who changed the world Were the ones they said never will [Verse 2] They flew a pirate flag and dared the world to blink Put a thousand songs inside a pocket made of glass Built a window to the universe that fit your hand The misfits who couldn't follow burned a road across the land [Pre-Chorus] Nobody believes the fool until the fool is right Nobody remembers laughing once he's changed the light [Chorus] Started as a joke on a fool's day Started with a dream that wouldn't fade away They laughed at the beginning But the punchline's running still The fools who changed the world Were the ones they said never will [Bridge] But the dreamer's gone now His fingerprints on everything we hold The garage became a temple Where the faithful line up cold Would he laugh or would he cry At what the joke became? Fifty years since April first And nothing feels the same Nothing feels the same [Final Chorus] Started as a joke and maybe that's the point Every giant grew from somewhere no one thought to look They'll laugh at your beginning But the ending isn't theirs The fools who change the world Are the ones who never cared [Outro] Started as a joke And the fool's still laughing Started as a joke And the joke keeps going
