One Fine Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Optimists say
The future's just a place we've never been
Histories say
We're doomed to make the same mistakes again
Between the two I can't decide
Really I must choose a side
I guess I’ll wake up smarter
One fine day
Apologists say
The weather's just a cycle we can't change
Scientists say
We've pushed those cycles way beyond
Dear leaders, please do something quick
Time is up, the planet’s sick
But hey, we'll all be grateful
One fine day?
Today the North West Passage just got found
Three penguins and a bear got drowned
The ice they lived on disappeared
Seems things are worse than some had feared
It's progress of a kind
Who knows what else we're going to find?
So do you trust your head or heart
When things all seem to fall apart?
I guess we'll wake up smarter
One fine day
Today it's raining dogs and cats
Rabbits jumping out of hats
And now what's got us all agog
Tomorrow it's a plague of frogs
We must do something quick or die
When snakes can talk and pigs will fly
And we'll all be so much wiser
One fine day
