We talked it over
And I guess I thought I was all right
A cup of coffee
Makes even a heavy thing seem light
The world was spinning
With the solutions in the palms of our hands
And I made a list
Of all the things that I wished to command
I said
I think the ocean has too many waves
There’s gotta be a way to make it behave
The world would run better
If it was run our way
(If it was run our way, our way)
Argentina is too far south
They should move it closer to my house
I think, the world would run better
If it was run our way
(If it was run our way)
The world would run better
I said listen we’re almost unique
We’re one in a billion
There are only seven of us
Who share this feeling
Look how much we’ve already solved
Over the course of a drink
I think the next step is to change
All the seasons to spring
I said
I think the ocean has too many waves
There’s gotta be a way to make it behave
The world would run better
If it was run our way
(If it was run our way, our way)
Argentina is too far south
They should move it closer to my house
I think, the world would run better
If it was run our way
(If it was run our way)
The world would run better
The world would run better
If it was run our way
(If the world was run our way, our way)
The world would run better
If it was run our way
(If the world was run our way)
The world would run better
