Espinola Single

lyrics

As a baby I thought Mom and Pop knew it all
But I was just setting them up for a fall
Gradually I realized,
Some ways that they was raising me was wrong, oh yeah.
And all of my teachers shoulda confessed
That their teachers' teachers built guess upon guess
And no one knows what's going on,
Everyone's just bumbling along.

Chorus:
Bumbling along, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Bumbling along, whoa whoa whoa whoa
No one knows what's going on,
Everyone's just bumbling along.

The government made it: A three-legged trout.
The scientists promised they'd work it all out.
Meanwhile I was running round,
Trying to find a place where I belong, oh yeah.
I hung around with that old ancient chief
We got tangled-up strangled in each others' beliefs
And no one knows what's going on,
Everyone's just bumbling along.

People will tell you the books you should read and you need til you bleed on the floor.
Doctors pretend they can mend you but then they just bend you and send you for more.

And as the truth-benders dismember your plans
Perhaps it helps to remember they don't understand...

(That's right, the one's who try to control your bodies
and tell you who you can love and marry.
The ones who steal your votes
and your media access, and your lives and your jobs.
The ones who destroyed my multicultural neighborhood
so they could build a basketball stadium and skyscrapers.
They are efficient, they are organized and murderously effective.
But they are ethically short-circuited and spiritually adrift.)

...And they don't know what's goin' on,
Even they are bumbling along.

And even that God up there in the sky
Wonders who made God and why can't God die
Cuz no one knows what's goin' on,
Everyone's just bumbling along.

Bumbling along, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Bumbling along, whoa whoa whoa whoa
No one knows what's going on,
Everyone's just bumbling along.
