lyrics

Who in the world knew a secret revealed,
That escaped them on their very first birthday?
It flowed through their bodies like water through sand
As we fell from our mothers into cold doctors hands
And then cleaned off and pinched so their lungs would expand
Oh but who in the world, remembers the plan?
And into the shadows of our fathers and mothers
And the heroes of our human achievements
But who inspires the masterpiece?
Was it he who orders the firing to cease
Or she who conjures the sermons from priests
Oh who in the world, remembers the plan
And we’ve grown to hear stories about heaven and hell
And of the reincarnation of loved ones
We’ve learned to abide by the judges advice
Cause he’s gonna find out who’s been naughty or nice
That a sin is only sin if the sinner sins twice
But to work hard cause idling hands are enticed
Oh but who in the world, remembers the plan
In the dawn of the day, while the people are dreaming
You can hear the pulse of the planet
As a child I would sing to her sweet refrain
Over and over and over again
In my youth I would listen as she screamed out in pain
Now as a man I hear nothing, though I try to in vain
Oh but who in the world, remembers the plan
Is it in the keeping of a happy home
Or in the teaching of all young children
Is it waiting by the phone for emergency calls
Is it helping your brother to his feet when he falls
Is it keeping all the evil behind prison walls
Is it whistling a tune while you’re busting your balls
Is it drawing the short straw for yourself every time
Is it knowing about your bible, every word, every rhyme
Is it standing for those beneath the poverty line
Or is it kneeling before some almighty divine
I don’t know.
