patricia marand, don chastain - we don't matter at all lyrics

Loading...

jim
what are we? a pair of puny primates
on a very tiny planet
in a minor galaxy!
we don’t matter at all

one big boom! and it’ll all be over;
or perhaps the smog will finish
our short, dull history
we don’t matter at all

oh sure, every hundred years or so
we come up with a gandhi or a michelangelo
hooray! ain’t that dandy, we say
then we muck things up
in the same destructive way

so, here you are: an earnest girl reporter
and you think you’re something special
in this vast eternity

baby, you and i
we’re just about as special
as a walnut or a fly
we don’t matter at all
we don’t matter at all
we don’t really matter at all

jim [spoken]
am i getting through to you?

lois [spoken]
not yet

lois
what are we? two little specs of nothing
just a couple of amoeba
in the universal sea
we don’t matter at all

what am i? some phosphorus and water;
i’ve heard chemically speaking
worth a dollar eighty-three
we don’t matter at all

i know, that my eyes aren’t merely blue
they’re just ophthalmic lenses
rather inefficient too
i know, and i find it all a bore
oh, professor, i have had this course before

so here we are: two herrings in the ocean
and the overbearing herring
is coming on with me

wrong approach–to me i’m much more special
than a walnut or a roach
oh, we matter we do
what’s the matter with you?
people really matter

jim
what’s so great about people?

lois
people really matter…

jim
they couldn’t matter less than…

jim and lois
…they do
