You and Me Against the World Lyrics

We could tie a knot out of dough and make a pretzel

We could even make more than one

We could sell them at a reasonable price

Oh, we could choose to feed the world

And we could see our smiles off the supermarket shelves

Or the world could go to hell

We could keep it to ourselves

We could draw some scratch marks onto some postcards

And we could decide just what they mean

We could write the most beautiful poems in our new language

And send them out to everybody

And we could publish a dictionary so everyone could understand

What our hash marks mean

Or we could let the dictionaries burn

And we could keep these words to ourselves

We could let the dictionaries burn

And we could keep these words to ourselves

To ourselves

We could spend a few more days in the lab

And we could splice a few more genes

We could research a cure for this terrible disease

That we accidentally unleashed

And when we found the cure we could make everybody well

Or the world could go to hell

We could keep it to ourselves
