LYRICS
Funny thing… once there was a king
He didn’t know a God damned thing
He’d say, “Why not bring on the onslaught?”
Then he’d say, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”
Funny thing… when the children sing
Their soul hatches then takes wing
They sing, “Why not five it all we got?”
The choir sings, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”
Funny thing… why doesn’t the king
Let go of everything and learn to sing
Finally the enlightenment he sought
Will be said, “He got. Yeah! We got!”
