Nothing Surprises Me Anymore

I dreamt I was a butterfly Or the butterfly was dreaming it was me I don't mean to sound rude She can hang like a dude But I'll never admit she's a cooler dude Than me Maybe some day We extinguish all the blue lights And the cellphones Rid the microwaves Our minds won't be so cloudy We'll start to get along And recognize the problem Or there's really no point at all in singing this song Tell me that world will end tomorrow Baby, I believe it If you said the color red is now the color blue I'd say it's true If we found out all the stars could dance Would we awaken from our trance? I'd say there's a chance When we switch the automobile back to the horse I'll say "of course" Nothing surprises me anymore Now I'm dreaming of an angel Who likes to spend her days in New York City She's my mother nature She's beautiful, but she thinks she's just pretty She's into entertaining I'll walk on down to Broadway where I'll find her And contribute to her fame Only she can entertain him Only she can make him sing Only she can show him a world where there is joy and love and surprise In every little thing Tell me that the world is run by lizards I tell you I'd believe it If teachers spoke to students like they're seventeen years old I'd say "right on" They'd walk on in say "Let's begin, our lesson is on Howard Zinn They found no gold and threw a fit Columbus was a piece of shit Now we disregard the slaughter and the gore The Santa Maria never made it to the shore" I dreamt I was a butterfly Or the butterfly was dreaming it was me I don't mean to sound rude She can hang like a dude But I'll never admit she's a cooler dude Than me No I won't If you told me that world will end tomorrow Baby, I'd believe it If you said the color red is now the color blue I'd say it's true If we found out all the stars could dance Would we awaken from our trance? I'd say there's a chance When we switch the automobile back to the horse I'll say "of course" Nothing surprises me anymore When we switch the automobile back to the horse I'll say "of course" Nothing surprises me anymore
