The universe is runnin' away I heard on the news, just the other day There's this new stuff called dark energy We can't measure and we can't see It's some elemental mystery train that we can't catch But our heads are in the oven and somebody's bout to strike a match Meanwhile back on our big round ball Things are getting serious as cholesterol Permutations, calculations, greedy piggies at the trough Arrogance and ignorance just to top it off I can't keep up with the Nasdaq Who got sold and who got bought I've got to take a lunch break But I'll leave with a little food for thought Maybe it's all too simple For our big brains to figure it out What if the hokey pokey Is all it really is about What if life is just a cosmic joke Like spiders in your underwear or olives in your coke My life can get as messy as a day old sticky bun So I arm myself with punch lines and a giant water gun They say its not that simple but just maybe it should be It's time to change the subject,would join me for a cup of herbal tea?
