This is my Earth
|
And I live in it
|
It's one third dirt and two thirds water
|
And it rotates and revolves through space
|
At rather an impressive pace
|
And never even messes up my hair
|
And here's the really weird thing
|
The force created by it's spin
|
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in
|
|
This is my Earth
|
And it's fine
|
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
It's not perfect
|
|
This is my country
|
And I live in it
|
It's pretty big and nice to walk on
|
And the bloke who runs my country
|
Has built a demagoguery
|
And taught us to be fearful and boring
|
And the weirdest thing is that he is
|
Conservative of politics
|
But really rather radical of eyebrows
|
|
This is my country
|
And it's fine
|
It's where I spend a vast majority of my time
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
It's not perfect
|
This is my house
|
And I live in it
|
It's made of cracks and photographs
|
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy
|
Who bought it from a guy
|
Whose granddad left it to him
|
And the weirdest thing is that this house
|
Has locks to keep the baddies out
|
But they're mostly used to lock ourselves in
|
|
This is my house
|
And it's fine
|
It's where I spend a vast majority of my time
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
|
This is my body
|
And I live in it
|
It's thirty-one and six months old
|
It's changed a lot since it was new
|
It's done stuff it wasn't built to do
|
I often try to fill it up with wine
|
And the weirdest thing about it is
|
I spend so much time hating it
|
But it never says a bad word about me
|
|
This is my body
|
And it's fine
|
It's where I spend a vast majority of my time
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
It's not perfect
|
|
This is my brain
|
And I live in it
|
It's made of love and bad song lyrics
|
It's tucked away behind my eyes
|
Where all my screwed up thoughts can hide
|
Cause God forbid I hurt somebody
|
And the weird thing about a mind
|
Is that every answer that I find
|
Is the basis of a brand new cliche
|
|
This is my brain
|
And it's fine
|
It's where I spend a vast majority of my time
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
It's not perfect
|
I'm not quite sure I've worked out how to work it
|
It's not perfect, but it's mine
|
But it's mine
|
