Umbrella Song

Daddy, could you tie up this umbrella Let me tell you about something That's been weighing on my mind She will grow up, grow up watching And hearing all of this I want to give her a good life And teach her to be kind Despite all the tragedies We witness Careful what you say Some of those things You seem to hate at first Can become the very ones You adore Some of those fights You make out to be nothing Could be Could be someone's daily war Daddy, could you open this up for me Daddy, could you tell me what's on TV One nation under selfish One nation under righteousness One nation under politics One nation under the rich Careful what you say Some of those words You think are no big deal Are like weapons To the ones across the room Some of those fights They say aren't worth the trouble Could mean everything to you Could mean everything to you Could mean everything to you Daddy, could you tie up this umbrella Could you read me that story one more time One nation under our bosses One nation under Mickey Mouse One nation under books and crosses One nation under the house Some of those things You seem to hate at first Can become the very ones You adore Some of those fights You make out to be nothing Could be someone's daily war Could be Could be someone's daily war Could be Could be someone's daily war Careful what you say Some of those words You think are no big deal Are like weapons To the ones right next to you
