Maybe we're all just cogs in some grand machine
And I know that you're worried that you're not where you're sopoused to be
Right here, right now, and I know how, you got here
Through thirteen billion years of cause and effect
The atoms in your body have not always been like that
They were forged in the core of a star long ago
And now they're asking me, "How am I suppoused to know
What to do?" and so I say to you,
Live your life and only do the things that you want to
I believe not in a higher power, but in cause and effect
I believe in self-written destiny, but also that we're products of our envionments
Just ask any psychopath, how great their family was to them
And then go ask all the fish in the sea, oh how they like the dams
Maybe we're all just cogs interacting with gears
And gears turning the hand on a clock
And that clock may not have some grand purpose
But it will keep on ticking
Cause we're still moving, still interacting
And nothing's gonna stop us, no, nothing's gonna stop me
From loving every human being that I meet, or getting to the places that I want to be
Like going into space, or maybe staying close to home
And eraticating all the bigottry and hatred in the world
Cause we're all fish in one big bowl, and that's something that everybody need to know
