lyrics

Oh everything is chemical
was triggered at its birth
by a bang which dragged us all
into this endless universe

and our fates were all decided
when the stars began to burn
the cards were stacked against us
as soon as the earth began to turn

for love and death and tragedy
the proof of our humanity
is virtually identical
to swirling, mixing chemicals
to elements and particles
irrationals and radicals

and its harder still to contemplate
if we have choice or we have fate
and if choice even means we have a soul
are we just animals with simple tricks
know right from wrong and pick-up-sticks
know how to love and act so in control

oh an artery will always say it chooses when to break
and a cancer cell will swear it couldn't hurt to replicate
and the sun will say to burn until you're gone is the only way

oh and galaxies
they all believe
they're suffering from anxiety
and the only cure's for them to separate

oh and people will tell you
that time heals wounds
find your place in this world
it'll be over soon
you do too much complaining
some are worse off than you
well that's certainly true

and I doubt that when I die
I'll reach some castle in the sky
and meet the man whose passing out gold stars
for living a good life
but if I did I think that he might offer this reply and say

the world is as its meant to be
the universe is functioning
and everything is perfectly aligned

so shut up, don't think so much, you're gonna be fine
so shup up and drink your beer, you're gonna be fine
so shut up, don't think so much, you're gonna be fine
