So What

So what is the response we hear
When the questions are near
And the men with the jello for brains all begin to exhale
So what can be said once and again
From the start right to the end
For we know that the sand will exceed the small size of this pail

What if we were able
To block the paper and the cable
See that things are not as stable as we
Hoped they are, ‘cause the light from this star
Might never be seen

So what if the walls all fell down
And the people around
All ignored the big noise that the bricks made while
Hitting the ground
So what bursting bubbles go pop
But the yawning won’t stop
While the girls with the IQ of soap
Spray their hairspray around

What if we were able
To block the paper and the cable
See that things are not as stable as we
Hoped they are, ‘cause the light from this star
Might never be seen

It seems there’s too much of a could thing
I could call I could write I could see
This all would equate to a good thing
If it was not for all this apathy

So what, people living in a box
People eating their own stocks
People pushing up daisies while
Daddy is mowing the lawn
So what I’ll repeat what I have said
‘cause we’ll all soon be dead
and so what is the response we’ll get
from the dusk to the dawn

What if we were able
To block the paper and the cable
See that things are not as stable as we
Hoped they are, ‘cause the light from this star
Might never be seen

And what if we paid attention
And knew what names to mention
Hoped to rely upon prevention
Of hope and such, ‘cause we’re seeing so much
That we’re missing the show
