I’m so glad I only have two eyes
If I were to see all the sorrow of this world
I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to live
It’s a cleverly made world, despisingly so
But despite that, what are people thinking?
Going through all the trouble
Of scrutinizing every corner of the world and saying this and that
My hands already full with my own sorrow
If I’m not allowed to see it, if I’m in the wrong,
Look, bring a needle and thread quickly
I’ll cover them up, I’ll sew them up
So at the very last moment show me everything
In order to have 1 be 1,
Today I steal 99 from 100 again, and go my merry way
I didn’t even ask you to tell me that
Come on, shut up already Ivan the Fool
From the world’s point of view,
Should you rejoice now that there is always someone worse off,
Whatever others say about you?
Well then, I need to lament my own sorrows too
If I’m not allowed to cry, if I’m in the wrong,
Just cut my tear ducts off already
When I’m born, before my belly button;
While you’re at it, rip my mouth sideways
So that even in painful or sad times
I’ll be able to smile like nothing’s wrong
Without that, I really can’t
I can’t live with myself
Today, again, lives are supposedly fading away here and there
But wherever I walk, I don’t seem to stumble upon anything like that
There’s a limit to being a clean freak, for real
What a wonderful world, but why is it so?
Well yeah, I can imagine he’s very busy,
But what is the Lord, above the clouds, standing around for?
Your job is to discipline the kids, right?
Gather your courage, bring out your fist,
And dish it out as you see fit
If I have to see it, if I’m in the wrong,
Paste it to the back of my eyelids or something
When I’m born, before my belly button;
If I want to go against it that badly
Then whenever I’m happy, or feel good,
Lay it on me every time I blink
Because if you don’t, I’ll forget
Because I only have two eyes
I’m so glad I only have two ears
If I were to hear all the screams of this world
I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to breath
With the mechanisms I have for keeping myself happy, I’m-
Full full full full
Full full full full
If I’m not allowed to see it, if I’m not allowed to listen to it,
Then once the lives that will come after us
Are carried in the womb, before the belly button,
I’ll close off, I’ll cover up
The entrances to all of those worlds for you
I’ll protect you
I’ll let you escape from those eyes
No tears will fall from them
