Akira The Don A Miracle
I knew this guy he'd been in a motorcycle accident, and it really ruined him
And he was like a linesman, you know, working on the power and
He was working with someone who had Parkinson's disease, and they had complimentary inadequacies
And so two of them could do the job of one person
So they're out there fixing power lines in the freezing cold, despite the fact that one was three quarters wrecked, with the motorcycle accident
And the othеr one had
Parkinson
It's like, that's how our civilization works
Therе's all these ruined people out there
They've got problems like you can't believe, off they go to work, and do things they don't even like
And look, the lights are on, my God, it's unbelievable
[Chorus]
It's a miracle
Look the lights are on
It's a miracle
It's unbelievable
It's a miracle
Look the lights are on
It's a miracle
It's unbelievable
And we're so ungrateful
College students, post-modern
Are so ungrateful, you know?
They don't know that they're surrounded by
Just a bloody miracle, a miracle that all this stuff works
That all you crazy chimpanzees that don't know each other can sit in the same room for two hours sweltering away
Without tearing each other apart, because that's what chimps do
Without tearing each other apart, because that's what chimps do
[Chorus]
It's a miracle
Look the lights are on
It's a miracle
It's unbelievable
It's a miracle
Look the lights are on
It's a miracle
It's unbelievable
[Chorus]
It's a miracle
Look the lights are on
It's a miracle
It's unbelievable
It's a miracle
Look the lights are on
It's a miracle
It's unbelievable
So (sighs), anyways
So, what happened?
Well, I made some videos and
I got to the bottom of some things, at least as far as I can tell
So I told you what the bottom is
And then I got this idea about what you might do about it
Which isn't my idea
It's not my idea
It's an old, old, old, old idea, it's far older than Christianity
It's the oldest story of mankind
It's old
Get yourself together
Transcend your suffering
See if you can be some kind of hero
Get yourself together
Transcend your suffering
See if you can be some kind of hero
Get yourself together
Transcend your suffering
See if you can be some kind of hero
Make the suffering in the world less
Well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell
If there is any way forward
And that's what it looks like to me
So, that's it
