Come along with me, we have oh-so-much to see The fathers of the sons and daughters are playing hide-and-seek We’re wailing on the trembling strings of our trickling poverty Come together toward the mist; the fools’ll leave, they flee Four generations enjoin kneecaps, through whispering we speak (Through whispering we speak) [solo] Why do we love a fight Just about every night When the big hand strikes the six We resume our bickering If the tall kids know it better Why’d they steal my grandma’s sweater Why’d they kick me in my ribcage And blame it on my nephews? [strings tweak] Why do fools suppose they’re smarter And make everyone work ten times harder Just to mend the dozen problems - they create and fail at solving? [solo] Jot down this melody, fresh notes we all can sing Our wise ones and our country-men unite - fraternity The spheres are deep in-love, like below - so above Self-knowledge bestows bliss, first rule of gardening Your children keep the score, they’re made from one four letter-word (Love, love, love, love) [solo] Why do we love a fight Just about every night When the big hand strikes the six We resume our bickering If the tall kids know it better Why’d they steal my grandma’s sweater Why’d they kick me in my ribcage And blame it on my nephews? [strings tweak] Why do fools suppose they’re smarter And make everyone work ten times harder Just to mend the dozen problems - they create and fail at solving? [solo] [background: “And we’re wise, we’re so wise, We’re on an information high Figuring on what’s important The prices or the vibes And we’re sensitive And we’re…manipulative That’s just business, Jim That’s just…showbiz.”] [solo] Why do we love a fight Just about every night When the big hand strikes the six We resume our bickering If the tall kids know it better Why’d they steal my grandma’s sweater Why’d they kick me in my ribcage And blame it on my nephews? [strings tweak] Why do fools suppose they’re smarter And make everyone work ten times harder Just to mend the dozen problems - they create and fail at solving? [solo]
