the bad dreamers - what we think vs what we know lyrics

[intro: david schuler]
m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh
m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

[verse 1: david schuler]
reconcile who i was with
who i am and try to be
just a statue in a snow globe
at my best when you come shake things up for me
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

[verse 2: david schuler]
hold my breath in shallow water
waiting patient for the tide
hard to tell now if i’m drowning
or if this is just a way to get baptized
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

[verse 3: david schuler]
he says home is where his heart is
but he won’t find it on skid row
just a stray dog with no tag, he’s got too much pride to beg
don’t underestimate what he knows

[verse 4: david schuler]
he prays to jesus on a billboard
a neon beacon in the night
“oh, the father, the son, the holy spirit!”
but the mothers and the wives are the ones that hear it
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

[bridge: david schuler]
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down
(m-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) do better, try harder, fall down

[outro: prof. jordan peterson]
“people have always said: life is suffering! yes! well, who wants to admit that? well, just think about it! well, so what do you do in the face of suffering! try to reduce it! start with yourself, what good are you? get yourself together, for christ’s sake, so that when your father dies, you’re not whining away in the corner and you can help plan the funeral and you can stand up solidly so that people can rely on you. that’s better! don’t be a d-mn victim! of course you’re a victim! jesus, obviously! put yourself together, and then maybe if you put yourself together: you know how to do that, you know what’s wrong with you, if you’ll admit it, you know there’s a few things you could, like, polish up a little bit, that you might even be able to manage in your insufficient present condition, and so you might shine yourself up a little bit and then your eyes will be a little more open and then you shine yourself up a little bit more, and then maybe you could bring your family together instead of having them be the hateful, spiteful, neurotic, infighting batch that you’re, like, doomed to spend christmas with.” -laughter-
“well, that’s hard! it takes responsibility! and i think, you know, if you said to someone: ‘you wanna have a meaningful life? everything you do matters!’ that’s the definition of a meaningful life, that everything you do matters!”
