counterintuitive Lyrics

We'll put ourselves in the ground at a rapid pace

To dream about living in the sky

And if the time comes to be reborn on Monday morning

We'll hit the snooze and lose our chance to fly

Oh my…

Counterintuitive creatures, we are

It's a wonder we've made it this far

If we just lived forever, we'd still look for new ways to die

And sell them to anyone who'd buy

We'll build ourselves rockets and send us out to space

But not see the forest for the trees

Its easier to cut and run, find another place

Self-deception is our favorite disease

Oh please…

Counterintuitive creatures, we are

It's a wonder we've made it this far

If the universe told us it's run out of ways to provide

We'd blow it up to salvage our pride

If only to disguise

The anger we feel when we can't have the prize

Or bend all the rules to conform to our lies

The wise ones will leave us

And the idiot will rise to start the cycle again…
