lyrics

If all the diamonds in the world lost their shine
would any girls still wear them on their fingers?
if all the polar ice caps melted
would penguins enjoy their bigger pools?
I bet they would

If old Benjamin Franklin were alive today
would he have an Android or an iPhone?
If politics were like a trading card game
would the world have a little more fun?

Some people insist on crashing parties
they're stuck in their ways
but if they came together
in a room with some helium
I'll try not to laugh when I hear them say

"Young man, you're rather silly
you've got your life ahead of you
pick yourself a university
and get yourself a PhD
instead of writing songs and poetry
move along and find a girl
or die alone
just get the hell outta here"

If machine guns shot bananas
would monkey soldiers go to war?
If motorcycles sounded like toy cars
would biker gangs still be a thing?

If you wore an anaconda as a scarf
would you be a lunatic or the cover of GQ?
If the world's supply of gummy bears took over
would you be an assassin or a cannibal?
If tranquilizer darts were filled with caffeine
would espresso shots be a bit too punny?
If procrastination ceased to exist
would I still be late and have to hurry?
