lyrics

Oh, we know a couple things

we know how to make plastic rings

and paint them gold

oh, we have resources for war
but not enough to feed the poor
I’m sorry son, that’s just the truth

and oh, could I have some more endorphins
please? Do you have aNY MORE DOPAMINE!?
I’m sorry sir, we just ran out.

and oh, this is a special place,
our apartment for the humans
we don’t want to go outside

It’s a scary place, there are things we don’t understand.

I know that it’s a beautiful land, but I have shaky hands


and I have the fear of the unknown

That’s right the fear of the unknown


It’s a fear of the others, their dangerous colors, the beasts in the dark, or that thing in the water, the things that we see in our father and mother the fear of the future and things yet discovered. It’s a fear to progress and the fear to fall back, it’s the fear of another terror attack, It’s the fear of control and fear of freedom, it’s a fear that we learned from mistakes when we were young, and it’s A FEAR OF THE HOLOCAUST, FEAR OF WORLD WAR, IT’S A FEAR THAT THERE ISN’T A GOD ANYMORE. BUT THERE’S MORE TO THE SHAME CUZ’ WE HAVE TO BLAME
HUMANITY’S PROBLEM
ON SOME POOR DEVIL’S NAME



OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mr. Unknown

And oh, it’s in our telescopes, it’s on the ocean floor
all the things we just don’t know

oh, it’s just the human hope,
we see it in a child’s soul
real potential

and we mold it, yeah we try to control it
and much too often we scold it
why don’t we just let it grow?

Cuz’ it’s the fear of the unknown

oh yes the fear of the unknown

Oh, and thank you very much, it's all on you

Thanks for taking my burden
and please treat her well

Mr. Unknown
