[Intro] [Percussion only] (HEY!) What's UP, people? (HEY!) [Pre-Chorus] [Build] Nobody starts from nothing (nothing!) No one starts from new (from new!) Everybody's floating on someone else's log So what kind of log are you? [Hook 1] PA-RA-LOG! (HEY!) OR-THO-LOG! (HEY!) HO-MO-LOG! (HEY!) [Verse 1] Well, a river cut a valley, tore a family in two Held on to something floating, woke up someone new Everything we carry, we got it second-hand Kept what worked, dropped what didn't, wrote the rest in the sand [Hook 2] PA-RA-LOG! (HEY!) OR-THO-LOG! (HEY!) HO-MO-LOG! (HEY!) [Verse 2] So that old river; it flowed out to the sea Warm and shallow; never once got cold Everything you ever met was already floating there The fish, the fern, the fly, ... the mold Same four letters, same old song Everybody's a second cousin, everybody hanging on But nobody -- nobody -- Gets here on their own [Pre-Chorus 2] [Build] Nobody starts from nothing (nothing!) Nobody starts from new (from new!) Everybody's floating on somebody else's log So what kind of log are you? [Hook 3] PA-RA-LOG! (HEY!) OR-THO-LOG! (HEY!) AN-A-LOG... [First vocalist, Spoken Word] Wait. Analog? Analog? Dude. ... Nothing in this room is analog. [8-10 bars, Horn Solo] [Hook 4] PA-RA-LOG! (HEY!) OR-THO-LOG! (HEY!) OH-NO-LOG! [Percussion Only] [First vocalist Spoken Word ] Hold on. Hold on. What's going on here? Somebody in the back copied the WHOLE DAMN GENOME? The whole thing? (The whole thing!) OH! NO! LOG! [Second vocalist, spoken Word] Yeah. That's a real word… Look it up. [Chant] Ohnolog! Ohnolog! Ohnolog! (HEY!) [Final Hook] PA-RA-LOG! (PA-RA-LOG!) HO-MO-LOG! (HO-MO-LOG!) [Outro] However you got cut loose (HO-MO-LOG!) However far you drift (HO-MO-LOG!) You're a homolog of mine And I'm a homolog of yours Same book, same blood, same LOG [Final brass hit]
