If every action and opinion Is what really got us here Then I'll fill my cup and raise it up And toast ourselves with all the luck For every moment that we're here I've seen the fear of understanding I've seen the fear of learning too While ignorance don't hold them back They've much to say on this and that Like they've got better things to do So while we're musing on our future Why not go digging up the past While none of us were built to last There's those that claim that they know best And I'd like to put them to the test I've been so worried for us lately So much more than I ever have Well it might be age, or parenthood Or the fear that I've misunderstood The very notion of our path Without retiring to your bed The purpose being to give some thought To all it is that you've been taught There'd be scratch marks on your head So while we're musing on our future Why not go digging up the past While not of us were built to last There's those who claim that they know best And I'd like to put them to the test And while we're airing our opinions Instead of clutching to our chest There will be those that set a trap Intending just to knock you back Well I'd like to put them to the test.
